Knoppix Demo CD and Music CD's ?

**samwisegamgee** · 04-02-2003, 08:29 PM

Is there a way to play Music CD's once Knoppix & the KDE desktop have completely loaded?
.
On my company's Dell, there is only one (1) CD-ROM drive.
The Knoppix Demo CD will not eject to allow replacement with a music CD.

.
The three (3) Ogg Vorbis files that come with Knoppix 3.1 really do rock, but are starting to bore me with repeated play.

.
Otherwise, Knoppix 3.1 is awesome.

To the best of my kowledge, the only way to do that is with two CDroms. Knoppix won't let you unmount the knoppix CD untill you hlat the system. The better idea is to just do a hard-drive install and then you have the world easiest to install debian. At least the easieswt to install I've ever seen.

Too bad it's a company machine. (I could get into serious trouble installing Knoppix on the company's Dell.)

.
However, thanks for the response VeeDubb.

.
I have created a sub-sub-directory on the Dell HD with many MP3 files in it.

Rip the CDs to your windows partition.

Also, you could always get an external CD rom drive that connect USB and use it. Of course, then you have to buy an external CD rom drive, but It might be worth it you.
