I too am very new to Linux (1 week) and trying to decide if I want to forego MS on one machine. I am "playing" with Knoppinx 4.0 live-cd on a celeron 400 256K machine with a DVD and CD burner.

Knoppix (and KDE and all the other stuff) seems to load and run fine. It finds two cdroms and KDE puts two icons on the desktop cdrom (which is my DVD) and cdrom1 (my burner). However ONLY cdrom (which contains the Knoppix live cd) works. WHen I click on it Konquerer opens and displays the Knoppix dvd files.

BUT, WHen I click cdrom1 there is some brief cdrom activity (as expected), but then I get the following message - "Unable to run the command specified, The file or folder file:///mnt/cdrom1 does not exist" I get the same message whether or not there is a cd in the drive.

Any help could be really appreciated -- Thank you. JJJJ

More Infor --
I just discivered that I can read an Knoppix boot disk and a disk of MP3 files. BUT I cannot read a regular music CD. Is there somethng I need to know about music cds.
