drives:/ in SuSE 9.1
Hello. I have just changed all my DVD/CD-RW/DVD+/-RW around, and now I have a problem. In the "My Computer" link on the desktop (which points to drives:/), all the drives are messed up. They point to the wrong folder in the /media/ directory. I looked for a way to change where the links point, but couldn't find such a way. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I havn't run SuSE but,
If you have changed the drives around then unmount them and remount them where you want them.
for a cdrom for example
as root
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
(just an example)
Your drive config is in the fstab located at /etc/fstab
look at the man pages for mount
man mount
You will have to be root to edit the file.

In 2.6 kernel the mount point is changed .. everyone mounts at /media now .. even Debian does it .. so fix accordingly.
/mnt is for hard mounts .. all removable media goes to /media

I restarted SuSE, everything seems to mount and link properly now. Thanks for the suggestions.
