First of all, make sure you don't have any terminals or windows open that are currently in /mnt/cdrom. try the following command: umount /mnt/cdrom Note: it's not unmount (if the missing "n" is found, please return it to Berkley). If all else fails, reboot the machine and take the cd out while it's booting. If that fails, find a paper clip. :-) Later Lee
