CDROM recognition
David,
Many thanks for coming back to me. No luck with the missing symlink. Have since reinstalled the whole thing and yet again had the problem. Decided to take drastic action (nothing to lose!) and went into /etc/fstab with the editor. Saw two entries referring to CDROM so deleted both and rebooted the system. Surprise, suprise, all was well. Then, after a couple of shutdowns, had the same problem so repeated the editing once more, and bingo - all was back to normal. I have no idea why this happened....
So now the CDROM is present, but I've since disabled the floppy as the system wanted to keep trying to read it for some reason (on, off, on , off etc)
Anyway, I'll reinstall all the updates then see what happens when I re-enable the floppy......
