Yellow Dog cd player.

kidmissle · 04-22-2007, 05:29 PM

I'm running yellow dog on a 233 Imac G3. My cd reader will work on boot up because I can boot from cd. Once the operating system is loaded and I double click the icon it says

the desktop entry file
/home/Andrew/Desktop/CD.desktop
is of type FSDevice but has no Dev=...entry.

Anyone have any suggestions.

I have not used that,Though I use Linux a lot I am not a linux geek ,But you may have not mounted the device. The proceedure is often simple.Click on the device and look for a sign that says mount.Click that ,It mounts. Otherwise ,Wait for a geek.

As root, try this:

Code:

mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Then, using your "Explorer" go to /mnt/cdrom & the cd should be there.
