By reading messages on this list, I think that I have figured out that in gnome, you should be able to find directories like media/floppy jerry@linux-8ldg:/media> dir total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2006-08-18 20:18 floppy Since the only sub directory I have in the media directory is floppy, does this mean that I have not configured the computer correctly? I cannot get to the cd drive while in gnome. And even though the computer says there is a directory called floppy, as you can see, I cannot get a list of files on that flop. I bet this is something simple that I keep missing. Thanks -- Jerry Hnidy Woodhaven, Mi
This is a little off topic as it does not relate to a wine problem however I will still try to help.

If you do not have auto-mounting on you must mount the disk yourself. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You do not have a linefor it in your /etc/fstab. You need to add something like the following: /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /media/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 I said something because this assumes you have your cd device at /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and it also assumes you have a /media/cdrom folder. The second one is easy to fix just mkdir -p /media/cdrom The first one you will have to find out yourself. ls -l /dev and see if there is a /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 ...

su - mkdir /media/floppy mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /media/floppy Jerry, what distrobution of Linux are you using? Then I could help you better when I know. uname -a That might show it. What's the output of all the commands and include what you typed. How long have you been using Linux? You asked me about this. mount | grep fd The | (shift + \ keys) is a pipe in between there. It pipes the output of one command to another. I am sending the output of mount (shows all devices currently mounted) to grep. grep then searches and only displays lines with the pattern "fd". You should check out www.linuxquestions.org and www.google.com/linux and depending on what distrobution you are, there will be some more guides and documentation.
