i just tried using KDiskFree to mount the cd rom drive..and it gave this error..this is differnt as it isnt what i was getting before of being in use by something else so it couldnt be mounted. Called: mount -tudf,iso9660,noauto,owner,kudzu,ro -0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom mount: fs type ro not supported by kernel Could something else be wrong that is causing the cd to not load at all? Thanks
