You've installed Morphix to your HD??!! And you didn't run into problems??? If so, you're a computer whiz Lou!! What about your Windows partition, everything intact there? or did you install Morphix to another box?

Open a terminal and type:
eject /mnt/cdrom [enter]
and it should pop open. Put a cd in, and type:
mount /mnt/cdrom [enter]
..and your cdrom should get "mounted." You can then find /mnt in nautilus, open it, then open cdrom, and look at what's on the cd. Or, at the terminal type:
cd /mnt/cdrom [enter]
then:
ls [enter]
and you will see whats on the cd from the command line. If there are mp3's on there, and one of the files is for example, "cutone.mp3, type:
xmms cutone,mp3 [enter]
and Xmms will come up and you can run it.
cd means "change directory"
ls = list, or show what's in the directory.
mount of course, means to mount that particular file system.
Enjoy..

Aha! 2 eh..? Ok. Try all this again except substituting cdrom1 instead of cdrom and tell me what you get. In the meantime, I'll check with my wife's laptop as it also uses Morphix-Gnome 4.1..btw i have 2 Cd-rom drives.

I'll try to get to the disappearing bottom bar later, first:
I forgot that Morphix mounts cdrom at / rather than /mnt soooo, do this instead....
Open a terminal and type:
su [enter]
This makes you 'super user' You'll notice the $ sign has turned into a # sign. You are now the god of your computer and can do anything you want without warnings! This is not always good as you can accidently delete something and there are no safety nets to prevent it! Super user is good to do some things, but you'll want to do most things as a regular user or $.
Anyway...
as root type:
umount /cdrom [enter]
and it should pop open. (make sure you type umount and not unmount!) Put a cd in, and type:
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom [enter]
..and your cdrom should get "mounted." You can then find /cdrom in nautilus, open it, and look at what's on the cd. Or, at the terminal type:
cd /cdrom [enter]
then:
ls [enter]
and you will see whats on the cd from the command line. If there are mp3's on there, and one of the files is for example, "cutone.mp3, type:
xmms cutone,mp3 [enter]
and Xmms will come up and you can run it.
cd means "change directory"
ls = list, or show what's in the directory.
mount of course, means to mount that particular file system.
umount = unmount the cd (actually the file system on the cd.)
For your other cdrom, do everything exactly the same except put a "1" after cdrom.
mount /dev/cdrom1 /cdrom1
etc...

Here's a really good link that explains all you need to know about mounting and umounting cd rom devices. I know it's different than Windows but it really makes more sense once you get used to it..
