hey

for example: i run XMMS and want to listen mp3s.
CD ROM is inserted.
i explored /cdrom, /dev/cdrom, /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/auto/cdrom and see empty directory.
i enabled bash, change mp3 CD with DSL CD, and again, directories are ampty, i cant see LOST+FOUND and KNOPPIX folder anywhere.
i tried command: find / -name KNOPPIX
and nothing was found, and also CD ROM was not starting (is command "find" also searches on CDs?)

i currently have DSL installed on HD with "Boot: install".

bonus question:
when i start DSL from CD, how can i eject CD ROM to change DSL CD with other CDs?
looks like CD ROM is blocked.

If it's not an audio CD, it must be mounted before you can access it.
The command "mount /dev/cdrom" should be sufficient.

In order to swap out the CD when booting from it, you must use the "toram" boot option.
