Hello, I'm new to this site, and I am also a new linux user. I bought a linux format magizine with a DVD of live Distros on it. Well I installed knoppix, but after it's installed I can't get it to dectect my dvd drive. Well, I don't know how to go about having it dectect my dvd drive, but all I know is that it's not listed anywhere. Where do I go to have KDE/Knoppix/Linux attempt to detect my dvd drive. Also, do you know of any good knoppix, KDE, or Gnome books I could go looking for. I really want to get away from my "windows zombie" ways.

Thanks,

Arkon
