Hi all,
Recently I posted a question about a compatible DVD RW. I was able to
get a LiteOn drive and had it inserted into the box. On next
under-privileged user login the drive was detected automatically and
added into the /etc/fstab file.
I have had an ongoing problem with kppp
(http://devel-home.kde.org/~kppp/index.html)
and my external modem, and kinternet just doesn't do it for me. I
decided to update the 9.2 kppp with the one on the Linux Magazine SuSE
10 DVD I had received in the hope that it might solve some or all of my
kppp problems.
Into Yast to change the source of installation:->Add->DVD. This failed
though with the message box that it was unable to locate the
installation source (Media mount failure). I clicked Yes to try again
with the same result.
The box has two optical devices on the same IDE cable:
A CD-Rom which I initially installed from marked as Secondary slave and
this new DVD-RW marked as Secondary Master.
The fstab entry is:
/dev/dvdrecorder /media/dvdrecorder subfs
fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
What is causing me to be unable to read from this DVD-RW as the fstab
entry for the CD-ROM is exactly the same(after the mount point entry,
and I can use that one?
