I finally have my tray on my cdrom opening and closing again, great what you can get do with a hammer.
>From Ross Drummond: ************************************************* Go to; Start --> System --> Confieration --> Packaging --> Install Software. After prompting for a root password rpmdrake the software installer program will open Enter mysql in the find box and click the search button. A list of mysql applications will appear. Check the box next to the particular application you wish to install and click on the install button. The installer will prompt you to insert the appropriate cdrom. **************************************************** The installer prompts with: Please insert the medium named "Instruction CD (x86)" on device [/dev/hdc] QUESTIONS: I am assuming that its asking for my original Mandrake 10.1 CD's ? If so, I have tried all 3 and all I get is the prompt coming back, any ideas please. I will point out again that I cannot get to my cdrom from my desktop icon, Ross said it was probably not mounted. I dont know if that makes any difference or not. Thanks again. Regards Kelvyn
