I hope that this has been resolved in the newest edition of Mepis but I have been unable to mount, unmount, and list the contents of the CD-Rom in version 2003-10-2. To get it to the point where it will mount and list the items of a cd-rom I created a new file with a text editor (I like kwrite). In any case I opened it up and typed in: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Icon=cdrom_unmount Name[en_US]=Mount CD-Rom Type=Application Exec=sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom;konqueror file:/mnt/cdrom But I can't open the drive door after I run it (I'm sure the reason for that is that the drive is not umounted). Now you would think that to get it to unmount the drive you would append the above file with: ;sudo umount /dev/cdrom but that just makes it so that konqueror opens file:/mnt/cdrom with no listing but the cdrom will open. And so I think that perhaps if I put it on a new line with Exec= in front of it that it would work. It does not. The blinking icon appears where the cursor is but disappears after some time. So how is it done? How do you mount it, list it's contents, and unmount it in one fatal swoop? -- <:-)Mike(-:> This message has been scanned for viruses by the VEI Internet Automatic Email Spam and Virus Scanner, and is believed to be free of spam or viruses.
