Well, thanks for this, I did all of that, but I am still having trouble finding them, they don't appear on anything that I can find - sorry to be slow on this, but I still can't work out how to access them.
Here is my fstab, I am fairly sure this just isn't set up right...
Thanks,

OK, so I have the DVD/CDRW working now, as /mnt/dvd, but CDRW also links to that. I am confused as to how to distinguish the devices, since every mountpoint is pointing to the same thing.
I'm please to have got anything to point to anything, but what it says is the dvd is actually the cdrw... Arrghhh....

You currently have these mount points right?
hda1 hda2 hda3 hda6 sda
You need to make some more mount points my friend. Look closely at your fstab- the format is like this:
filesystem mountpoint type
So, applying that to the following line from your fstab
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec 0 0
/dev/cdrom is your filesystem
/mnt/cdrom is your mount point
iso9660 is the type
But you don't have /dev/cdrom OR /mnt/cdrom do you? You just need to make the symbolic link to your cdrom like this:
Code:
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
ls -al /dev/cdrom
What is /dev/cdrom really pointing to now? Post it please.
You also need to create the mount point /mnt/cdrom. fstab is trying to mount /dev/cdrom to a mount point that does not exist. That'll never work. As root, do this:
Code:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt
ls
Now your mount points should look like this:
hda1 hda2 hda3 hda6 sda cdrom
Post your mount points please.
If everything above went smoothly now fstab will mount /dev/cdrom (which is actually /dev/scd0)on the mount point /mnt/cdrom.
If everything above went smoothly......
As root, do this:
Code:
mount -t auto /dev/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
ls
Also let me remind you that you CANNOT mount an audio cd because it has no filesystem on it. Additionally, you can't mount an empty drive because............there's no filesystem in an empty drive either. So anytime you want to mount a cdrom you need to have a data cd in i the drive.

Ah yes the joys of symlinks. As root do this:
Code:
ls -al /dev/dvd
ls -al /dev/cdrom
Post the output please. You're almost there. Soon you''ll understand- fear not!

ls -al /dev/dvd -> /dev/cdrom
ls -al /dev/cdrom -> sr0
ls -al /dev/cdrw -> /dev/scd0

OK, so:
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
[ln: '/dev/cdrom': File exists
ls -al /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 28 23:24 /dev/cdrom -> sr0

It looks as though I may have confused you.
As root do this:
ls -al /dev/scd0
ls -al /dev/scd1
Then, still as root do this:
rm /dev/dvd
rm /dev/cdrw
rm /dev/cdrom
It will ask if you're sure- yes.
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
ls -al /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/scd1 /dev/dvd
ls -al /dev/dvd
Post the entire screen please.

Sorry, really stupid question, I am in a shell as root, I select copy text, and then when I go to paste it into Knoppix, I there is no paste. How do I do that?
