Knoppix
 

Hi just managed to setup my comp with a dual boot with knoppix
got my cdrom mounted but cannot figure out how to mount the cd writer any one help here cheers!

Give a go at:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrw

Make sure /mnt/cdrw exists (or check the directory to see what's available).

You can also look at a device manager, read the /etc/fstab and/or check out:
dmesg
to find out what devices are named.

Cool
