Hi Paul and Andreas, Thanks for your advice.
- snip - > You've probably got it mounted noexec. Type "mount" and see what it says > for /cdrom. If it says noexec then read the mount(8) manpage and either > umount/mount with the appropriate option or umount, edit /etc/fstab, and > mount. $ mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) $ mount /cdrom -o remount,exec mount: only root can do that But /cdrom can be mounted either as USER or as ROOT with $ mount /cdrom I still have some minor problem after setting up /cdrom and /cdwrite. Although they both can be mounted as read (I have not tested 'write' yet) I could not get them 'ejected' on KDE desktop with the 'eject' command. I have to press the button to remove CD from the tray. $ cat /etc/fstab # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdd /cdrom auto ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc /cdrom0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 # ls -al /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2003-12-27 23:15 /dev/cdrom -> / dev/cdrom0 # ls -al /dev/cdrom0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2003-12-27 23:15 /dev/cdrom0 -> / dev/hdd # ls -al /dev/cdrom1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2003-12-27 23:15 /dev/cdrom1 -> / dev/hdc On KDE desktop icons (setting) CDRom -> Properties -> Device -> device=/dev/hdd CDWriter -> Properties -> Device -> device=/dev/hdc Any mistake committed by me?
