Hi One one occassion I had this kind of problem after messing up my Fedora Core. This was only my second Fedora Installation (and Linux altogheter). When I wanted to access the cd drive after starting the system, it would claim there be no cd drive. Because I knew that /dev/hda was the cddrive, I did a ln -s /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder and it fixed everything. This might be the same kind of problem. Otherwise, can you do a mount /media/cd or /media/cdrecorder or similar (look under media for the description) With kind regards Andy On Wednesday 23 November 2005 05:59, hawat.thufir@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > >From the installation sequence: > > Installation method > ------------------- > > what type of media contains the packages to be installed? > > Local CDROM > Hard drive > NFS image > FTP > HTTP > > > selecting "Local CDROM" invariably generates: > > CD not found > ------------ > > > The Fedora Core CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives.
