I'm trying to work out whether I've got a software or hardware problem. Last night I was trying to put my debian cds into sources.list with apt-cdrom. The first two went fine but the third could not be read - lots of whirring and grinding and flashing lights but no action. So I ^C'd my way out of there.
Since then "apt-cdrom add" cannot read anything; Gnome CD player can't find a disc in the drive; I can't mount anything on /cdrom; but get no error messages from any of these activities (or none that I can see.) Have I chewed up some software here or is the drive scuppered? Is there anything else I can do to test either? Thanks in advance Glyn M -- ****************************************************** * "The soul is greater than the hum of its parts.
