As for the /mnt problem. Can't you use the links on your desktop?
What file systems du you have?
Do you have the floppy device enablet in your bios, but you don'r have any floppy device?
i can use the links, sure. but if it doesnt work....id like it fixed
*odd*i can browse /mnt suddenly ?? i reboot, and i tr to browse it...no go, try again, it works; strange.

*more odd* when broswing from /mnt into /hdaX it sometimes takes a long time to open the folder, or doesnt open at all. when opening from the dekstop its instant, any ideas how to fix that?

on libdvdcss:
installed as per instructions
xine gives new error: "thre is no input plugin available to handle 'dvd:/'
Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesnt exist

*another oddity* no sign of DVD/CD being mounted anywhere. it worked earlier, but nothing is showing that i have a cd/dvd in anywhere (there is /cdrom and /dvd and /mnt/cdaudio and /mnt/dvd but neither of those have anything)

how do i get the dvd writer i have mounted again? i didnt change anything that should have effected it so i dont know why this is happening now.

thanks guys, i appreciate this

this is annoying :/
