i just installed slackware 8.1 but now when i try to use they floppy and cd-rom drives, it won't recognize them. How do i make linux notice them. Is there so sort of tutorial or whatever.
Any comments are appreciated
thanks

Are you mounting them?
For floppy:
Code:
# mount /dev/fda0 /mnt/floppy
For CDROM:
Code:
# mount /dev/cda0 /mnt/cdrom
 
Also, I tried KDE and now i want to try Gnome, how do i switch to it???
