Your CD drive may show up as something like /dev/hdc. With this info, manually mount the CD with the command "mount /dev/hdc /cdrom"; you'll have to do this as root, so run "su -" once you've opened the terminal window to become root within that terminal. If you have access to another machine on which you can download and burn a CD image, burn yourself a Knoppix, Kanotix, Mepis, or some other LiveCD. See if you can boot from it. This is a good test to make sure your CD drive/hardware is working properly. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
