hi i installed knoppix 3.4 in the hard drive, using the /cdrom1.
apparently now i can not mount the /cdrom and /cdrom1. this is the most strange thing i have seen. here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

i had this happen on a previous install thinking i had messed it up myself trying to fix things, but this is bizarre, what causes this and how can it be fixed?

cd to your /mnt directory and check that your /cdrom and /cdrom1 are not symlinks. I had this problem after the hd install. Deleting and making new directory worked great. The fstab looks good to me, but, I am a newb also.

If you're trying to mount them using the desktop icons, try deleting those icons and creating new ones. (right-click in desktop, Create new, device, cd-rom device).

did you just delete the symlinks and do

mkdir cdrom
mkdir cdrom1

what then? how to make the new directories act as the dvd and cdrom?

<--- more n00b

none of this is making much sense to me, but its definitely annoying.

i dont know where my optical drives *should* be on this sytem to being with, perhaps if i did i could find out if they are and mount them myself. as it is.....ill just pretend theyre non existant, and ask "how do i add an optical drive?"
