xmms is installed. I haven't succeeded yet in installing the accompaning
packages though. I logged on as root to avoid permissions errors. I used the
KDE window manager.
First, I used MandrakeUpdate to install a bug fix that was available for
rpmdrake. Then, I attemped to install several of the packages. For instance, I
tried to install xmms-esd (XMMS - ESound output backend). rpmdrake instructed
me to "Please insert the cdrom named cdrom1". I placed Installation CD 1 in the
CD ROM player. After the light on the drive stopped blinking, I clicked on OK.
rpmdrake then indicated that "Sorry can't find file
/mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/xmms-esd-1.2.3-4mdk.i586.rpm, exiting".
After trying that several times, I decided to try to examine the contents of the
CD. I started Konqueror. It showed a picture of a lock on the /mnt/cdrom
icon. I clicked on it anyway. Konqueror produced a message saying:
Error - Konqueror
X Unable to enter file:/mnt/cdrom.
You do not have access rights to this location.
So, then I launched a terminal window. "ls -l" in the /mnt directory shows this
for cdrom:
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 7 07:25 cdrom/
If I enter "ls /mnt/cdrom", I receive this error message:
ls: /mnt/cdrom: Input/output error
