Hi Jim, First of all you to mount the cdrom if you Linux OS does not do automounting. I think you missed to check this. try the command "mount /mnt/cdrom" or "mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom (if the cdrom is a secondary master one" or "mount /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom (if the cdrom is primary slave" . Once the cdrom is mounted you can playcd. Please get back to me if you are not clear Regards K.Deepak ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K.DEEPAK AdventNet Development Centre (India) Pvt Ltd Phone : +91-44-2432414,2432748,2432749 Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Tue, 4 Jul 2000, Jim Travnick wrote: > How do i get my cdrom to work ive typed cd /mnt/cdrom in a terminal > window but nothing tried xplaycd with a music cd in and i get told i > have no disk in. when i look in the control center under cd properties > the command says: gtcd--play--device %d if i click on browse and i go to > /mnt/cdrom it looks as i don't have any files in there what gives? > Thanks for any and all help > Jim > > > -- > To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" > as the Subject. > -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
