I spoke to soon. Creating a new device worked for the floppy but did not work
for the cd-rom. When I click on it the response is:
The desktop entry file
/home/knoppix/Desktop/CD-ROM Device
is of type FSDevice but has no Dev=... entry.
I just knew I should have checked it but thought that sinse making the new
device on the desktop made the floppy work it would make the CDRom work too.
Darn.
