do this at the command line ;-)$sudo umount -l /cdrom $sudo eject /dev/cdrom be careful to not open any new program to open a new application that's not yet opened put the livecd back on the drive and do $mount /dev/cdrom Posted by cbagger01 on Aug. 25 2004,17:25
Also, if you have 128MB or more RAM, you can start DSL with boot command:dsl toram and you will be able to remove your DSL boot CD from the drive after the system is fully loaded up and booted. This is a great way of freeing up your CD drive if you need want to play music CDs or if you want to burn data out to a CD-R disk. Posted by henrique on Aug. 25 2004,17:35
in fact, this little tip can only be useful in 2 situations:-the computer has little ram -the live-cd is very big, example Knoppix I, myself, have 768 mb ram and always did toram with DSL and live distros of about 200 mb mini-cd, but I never tried do this with Knoppix well, at least until I have 1 Gb ram :-) |
