    the cd and dvd drives are on a automounter. As with playing them just right click the drive and click play audio or dvd. It doesn't need to be mounted to do that. If you want to access files on it though. just wait knoppix will mount it soon.

    That is the links in the icon(s) set incorrectly just delete it and recreate a new one by right clicking on the desktop and choosing create new.

    I see you cannot really mount an audio cd there is no real file system on it, but if you have kdemultimedia-kio-plugins package installed then you can use audiocd:/ in the location bar of Konqueror to browse it.

    The Debian archives it is a part of KDE so apt-get -s install kdemultimedia-kio-plugins remove the -s from the line if the output of the simulation looks good. To see if you already have it installed:

    Code:
    >$ apt-cache policy kdemultimedia-kio-plugins
    kdemultimedia-kio-plugins:
      Installed: 4:3.2.2-1
      Candidate: 4:3.2.2-1
      Version Table:
     *** 4:3.2.2-1 0
            600 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages

    knoppix comes with audio plugin on it. and if you read my above post the cd is on automount. thats why there is no option to mount it.
