[djnzlab1]

HI,
Not sure if this has been mentioned, I have used a few differnt linux/BSD flavors, and this sabayon is great, I did like the way it was very easy to configure that PC linux settings for boot and hardware addons.
I am having problems locating the correct way to mount and un-mount things like floopy, cdrom ,dvd.
It may be becasue I am new, maybe it coule be added to the wiki for us new chcikens..

Here are some methods to how to mount you cdrom.
Place your cd in the cdrom drive.

##The easy way##
Once you've place your cd in the cd rom, wait for a pop up window to appear asking for what actions to take.
Select open in a new windows. This automounts it for you.
To unmount, look at the bottom right hand corner of your menu bar, click the cdrom drive and select, unmount.

##The terminal way##
To mount your cdrom drive, Open up a terminal, like konsole.
Type

Code: Select all

su
Password:       <-Type in your root password.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

To unmount the cdrom drive. Open up a terminal.
Type

Code: Select all

su
Password:       <-Type in your root password again
umount /mnt/cdrom

My advice is to print it out and take it where ever you go. That way, you can finish the guide on your free time and can remember it better.
Please try your best to read it, it's only 19 pages.
I know you can do it.
