I still newbe in linux. Currently i using linux debian but i really do no how to configure the cd rom drive. After insert the cd it can't be eject i really out of idea. Any idea?
1. You don't type the #, that's just the prompt when you are root. To become root, type su and then enter your root password when prompted.
2. /dev/cdrom might not correspond to your CD ROM drive, replace it with whatever is correct for your machine. If in doubt, post a copy of your /etc/fstab here and we can tell you. You can open the file with any text editor, or type "cat /etc/fstab" in a terminal window and then copy the output.
