Maybe instead of making numerous personal remarks, you could explain , respectfully, the process of configuring the CD player to allow access for a user.
And if possible, why in some linux systems root would be denied access to a CD ?

Lindows Much Faster, but how come u have to download all the software that u want to use with it? Better not use Lindows unless you have broadband
but why if root is the all powerful almight god of the linux world would you need to change the attributes to allow everyone access to it
note : thread hijacked
Mmmmm.Your a complete idiot if you put lindows and linux in the same category
Nope.Do you actually think linux distros try to be like windows?
Never said it either.
Really, you should learn to read first before you try to respond to someone's written words.
I think people like you should be banned or at the very least warned!
It makes the board quite an unpleasent place to be.
Look at all that crap!mount /dev/cdrom
unmount /dev/cdrom
Now here is the thing, you shouldnt be using a distribution that is not user friendly if you dont know much about linux. I would suggest however that you choose a kde desktop enviorment because it has a autorun or automount utility that mounts the cd rom as soon as you put it in the drive.
If your root and your denied access to your cd-rom device or floppy. Then you ned to chmod 777 the cd-rom. go to the "/" directory and find /dev/ then in /dev/ which stands for devices like hard drives cd drives etc. find cdrom or floppy, and chmod 777 /dev/cdrom/ now if your not at a terminal doing that then you can just rigt click and allow the read and right access, and execute if you plan on running any type of binary or shell script from the cdrom or floppy device. Its really just that simple.
Who in there right mind would choose a KDE enviroment over windows?
Point in case making ( ? ) a prime example.
Should I close this?
