(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello everybody!
I made a frugal install off puppy 4.3. Everything works ok (as alaways on puppy) but the cd-rom drive. The problem is not recognise by Puppy. I tryed with probedisk, and mount but none of them are detecting my CD-Rom drive. What should I do? (Sorry for my bad english)

The short list
Did Puppy see it to boot from the CD?
Did you put a CD in the drive before trying to mount it?
The reason I ask is that the CD icon only shows up when you put a CD in the drive.
When you remove the CD, the CD icon will disappear.
Also, is the CD drive internal or external?

Hi 8-bit! Thanks for the quick reply.
That was what I wanted to say, that Puppy is not seeing the cd unit (an internal one) when I have a cd in it. And yes, I can boot from a Puppy CD, but after that it does not recognise it (in my frugal installation).

Any suggestions? Please...

If you used Xorg...try Xvesa instead.

Or vice versa if you selected Xvesa.

Chris.
