Hi all, 

I am new to Mandrake although not new to Linux.

Using software manager, Mandrake does not ask for the correct cd when 

needed, it just says the rpm or tgz cannot be found.

I have 2 cd rom drives, one is a sony burner and the other a pioneer 
DVD player.

I have installed twice and both times have had the same problem.

When i install the os, it is off the sony drive (Master) and all goes 

well. After the os is running, whenever i go i\to install another 
program, the dvd drive opens, requestng the cd not the sony drive.

Normally this would not be a problem but my dvd drive is half dead 
and only reads and plays dvds.

if i delete the software sources and add them again from the correct 
drive, it then doesnt automount and i have to manually mount and 
umount the drive to get the sources acknowledged or use the cdrom at 
all and even then Mandrake doesnt ask for the correct cd, it still 
errors.

thanks for listening,  all hints appreciated :)

-Matt
