Hi all, I have a Compaq LTE5100 laptop with 24MB of RAM, and have installed Debian Linux 2.2. Since I know only the basics of Linux, I am struggling with a problem to do with a swappable CD-ROM drive/Floppy drive. I had to do an install of 2.2 using the Vanilla version using Floppies. Now I can't get my CD-ROM drive to be seen AT ALL. I have had a look at Linux Laptop, but can't find any relevant articles on this kind of senario. How do I get my laptop to look at this device. I have getting the following errors:
mount /cdrom mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist. I think I messed up the installation, but don't know how to go back to it....can someone give me a hand. Thanks Max
