I installed DSL to a computer I'm working on at school and when I went to mount the cd-rom I relized something. The mounting tool in the bottom right coner is only picking up hda1 and hda5 ( there in no hda2 - hda4 and I checked, it's like that because I sat the porstions at the ends on the disk). It's not picking up the floppy (I think it should be fda1 or something like that) or the CD-Rom drive. I tried go to mnt/ and checking if it atuo mounted it but it didn't. I have the DSL 2.3 version. Is there a way to fix that tool (the one in the lower right) and mount them?

Have you tried opening the file manager and clicking cdrom or floppy then right clicking cdrom or floppy and then clicking mount to see the content? I think dsl auto mounts the cd and floppy when you install..hope this helps..additional partitions may be mounted via the slit by clicking

Mount: can't find /mnt/cdrom in /etc/ fstab or /etc/mtab

That is the error it throws in the bottom.
