Removable media drives THEMSELVES do not "show up" What "shows up" are filesystems on disks inserted into these drives. Hope that helps.

It doesn't really. A blank floppy or CD will not have a filesystem on it. However, a music CD will not have a "filesystem" on it, but it should be recognised and playable, but it is not, here. If a disk drive is not recognized by the system, how do you know what its drive number or name would be? Of course, if you only have one floppy, then it's FD0, but if you have various drives, then what? --dm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Generally, the device files (in /dev) are present regardless of whether the any hardware is present or not.

It all depends on what the drives are? are they IDE or SCSI... or SATA? And is your kernel using IDE -> SCSI mapping?

Hi as root run hwinfo --cdrom and that will give your device names, then make a subdirectory for each device under the media directory, if they don't exist ie.mkdir /media/cdrom mkdir /media/cdwriter or whatever name you wish. Then execute mount -vt auto /dev/whatever your devices names are /media/whatever your directories are called. If that doesn't work, post the output from mount.

According to the Red Book specification. You could call that a file system, but I doubt most OS or file-system design types would. There's very little indexing information. Each sector (holding 1/75th of a second of audio) includes a "subcode" byte that encodes the current track and time within it (the drive / player does not keep track of that). (I worked for Philips' CD-I authoring tools group once upon a time.)

Well, the floppy drive shows up in the system, media, or whatever it's called, and I also have a CD reader, from which I installed the OS, and a CD or DVD writer--it's been so long that I forget which--and neither of these show up on the system, and I can't read or write from/to any of them, including the floppy.

for the floppy, first you have to insert a disk and then format it with a filesystem: example: $ su - password: <= type the root password here # mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0 NOW that particular floppy has an ext2 filesystem on it, and it can be mounted like this: # mkdir /mnt/floppy # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy But it's probably much simpler for you to just use YaST to do these things.

Well, 9.3 is outdated and out of support. I suppose you first have to format the floppy, then mount it. You could use "Kfloppy" in kde to format it, but I don't know if 9.3 has it. As for CDs, you have to insert one, then open it. If automount fails, I can't help because I never used it, and 9.3 was different from the current method. I always use manual mount. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I thought "Uncle Al knocking at the door" was merely an opaque reference to the early onset of alzheimer's disease. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Those damn teenagers! Always causing trouble! :-( When I was 70 we did not have such damn problems with ignorant teenagers! Not to mention all that "rocking and rolling" rubbish! Blech.

I was thinking more about that damned rag, dixieland, jazz, and "big band." Of course it's big? Who ever heard of a small band worth listening to?

Oh gosh. Is that what it was all about. Tsk, tsk. How one misses things when one's memory goes...... "Uncle Al....". Actually I am now trying to remember where Uncle Al moved to last year.

You should booze more. The BBC website last week had an article about booze being an antidote for Uncle Al. I can vouch for the efficacy of the treatment. See! I remembered the story after almost 1 week of boozing! All I now need to do is to remember where I put the bottle of single-malt today..... :-( . But never mind, another 5 or 6 drinks and I am sure I'll remember. Bottoms up! -- A Short Fairy Tale. One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who, surprisingly, did not whine, nag, or bitch...
