I cant get my music cds to play any suggestions? Also, how do i get a usb flash drive to work

For the usb, you should have an icon. Just click on it.

For the music, don't mount the CD, just insert it. First, find Kmenu >Multimedia > Sound > Kmix and click on it (the icon will appear on your taskbar).

Right click on it, select "Show Mixer Window" and whack the volume slider under the CD icon well up.

Next go Kmenu > Multimedia > Sound > KsCD

(Note that this has it's own horizontal volume control.)

The rest should be pretty self explanatory.

Have fun and get back with any problems.

when i try to bring up KsCD it stays:

CD-ROM read or access error (or no audio dics in drive).

Please make sure you have access permission to:

/dev/cdrom

As root adduser user_name audio then logout and back in for the change to take effect.

Ah, it's a HD install!

su to root and do

kate /etc/fstab

you should see drives which have a hash # in front of them. Remove the hash from any drives which you want to enable. Your usb probably looks like:

#/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0

(which is fine apart from the hash).

Now, if you've not got an icon, make one:

right click on the desktop. Select create new > floppy device

for the device enter (take this from _your_ /etc/fstab) /dev/sda1 (in the example above.

Select a nice pair of icons (the floppy ones are OK) and call it something in the "general" tab (usb, perhaps).

That's it. To mount the device right click, select "mount" and a left click will open it in Konqueror.

You can then drag and drop things to it and so on, just as in any other filesystem.
