Knoppix Cdrom HD Install
Ok don't know if I will get any feedback on this but here is goes:
I got a install of knoppix to my harddrive and I constantly get a cdrom icon/link on my desktop that does not work. The reason it doesn't work is because my cdrom is scsi and is /dev/sr0. So yeah I got a new link on the desktop that mounts my cdrom correctly but I still get the non working one even ofter deleting it. So my question is how to I: 1. Get rid of the bad icon/link. or 2. Correct the link with a symbolic link. ln -s Hope there are some linux ppl here. thanks |

I am sure you will get more helpful responses from someone who isn't nearly as green as me when it comes to Linux, but as a curious newb who loves his Knoppix to convert his previously mostly useless work computer to a helpful mobile fun machine I can't help wondering, why are you installing Knoppix to your hard drive over other distros? Or did I misread that?

Indeed I wonder the same thing. Which has kept me from responding to your question. Why not just start with Debian and install what you want?

1.please paste you /etc/fstab file on the board. you probably have an entry pointing to /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrom# where # is obviously a number
2.which version of the kernel do you have?? I haven't used Knoppix, but im willing to help. ~Zach

Other than that I love the look and it support my tv card and lisa setup is easy, plus, plus, plus..... I really like the feel and sounds. I love all the packages and everything I want to do is basicly ready to go. Just like it. I used to like Storm2000 if you all tried that Debian distro but it went into hybernation. Lastly I dual boot and already know lilo faily well plus. It can mount my ntfs drives if read/write if needed. Whats not to like. reply to bendsley: It already has all the packages I like except Cheops which doesn't work yet, and a few others. reply to debianuser: I run the 3.4 distro because the newer kernel wont suppor my audio or atleast it doens't set it up by default. Plus I like the look of the 3.4 better. Posted my fstab above. Thanks all for your replys. : ) |
