Hello,
I', conciderably new to using Knoppix, ok linux for that matter, but my dad said this was a good way to learn so I'm here. Anyway's, the other day I had Knoppix 3.2 running and I went to burn some stuff from my HD to CD, and I realised I didnt know how to Mount the CD Burner. So, how do you do it?
Well if you have only one cdrom and you use it too boot Knoppix then I'm afraid you're out of luck unless you get the newer verison w/ the 'toram' cheat code. BTW- it is impossible to mount a cdburner but you can mount a file system that's located inside the cdrom drive. It is however unnecessary and impossible to mount a blank cd. Why? No filesystem to mount. :) Anyway, if you want to mount a drive you just do this:
mount /dev/? /mnt/?
That is to say "mount /dev/(whatever) to mount point /mnt/(whatever)
OK ok something a little more sensible:
mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom
Oh ok, well I have a seperate burner, so thats not an issue. But then how do I burn a CD with Knoppix?
Look for K3b in the system menu IIRC it is pretty straight forward and easy to use.Quote:

OK so now I know that my drive is 0,0,0 on the SCSI bus, So..
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0,0 Knoppix.iso
and that's it!
