First a bit of background: I am a longtime DOS/Windows user and know
those OSes inside and out. I am loading Linux on my PC for the first
time. The PC is a Thinkpad 486 33 with a 260Mb HD -- 50 of which is
dedicated to WIndows (3.1) and the rest is divied 60-100 for Linux
(RedHat 4.2) and 8Mb of RAM. I have a 14.4 Megahertz PCMCIA modem, I
have a Backpack CDROM and I have a Colorado tape backup.
I have two questions:
1)CDRom: I am having difficulty accessing my CD ROM. It should have
been installed automatically, since I installed the Redhat software from
there. My FSTAB file is configured correctly and I have the drive
mounted on /mnt/cdrom. The problem, when I ls on that directory, I get
nothing. Any ideas?
2)modem: I created a softlink between /dev/modem and /dev/cua1 (yet,
it's going the right way) But when I access minicom and type AT, I get
no response. I am imagining I have to configure the PCMCIA slot to act
as cua1, but I have no clue how to do that.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
