Re: [Staffslug] Can't access cdrom

Kev, KsCD pops up when i insert audio disc but plays 6 secs and stops Kaffeine keeps playing but no sound. If i open cd from home/dev it sees data. All very odd as i just used the drive for new install so much be in good order mechanically. I have now installed PCLinuxOS. It seems very good as it has a download/install facility for new software just by pointing and clicking. It took only moments to get firefox, java, flash and mplayer installed and running, excellent for those of us who can have problems with ./confuse make && make a mess! It's the first real linux alternative to windows that I've seen! (sorry Andrew) I've had a real battle getting my pcmcia wifi card working, there's a driver in mandy that loads automatically and stops the ndiswrapper functioning. It's called bcm43xx and i had to learn to use ndiswrapper and rmmod to get rid of the bloody thing-many hours of frustration. Stuart
