Norman, |

I am glad to know that you have chosen Gentoo as your first contact |
| 20 |
with GNU/Linux. First of all, congratulations! having a working Gentoo |
| 21 |
system without any previous Linux knowledge is a terrific start! |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I assumed that you knew what fstab is and how to modify that file |
| 24 |
because it is explained in the Gentoo Handbook, which is the reference |
| 25 |
to install this distribution. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
As explained in the Gentoo Handbook chapter 8 [1], you manually |
| 28 |
created a text file under "/etc" called "fstab". This simple text file |
| 29 |
contains all the necessary information to, let's say "auto-mount" your |
| 30 |
different devices. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
This is my fstab, I post it here as an example: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 35 |
/dev/hdc1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2 |
| 36 |
/dev/hdc3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1 |
| 37 |
/dev/hdc2 none swap sw 0 0 |
| 38 |
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0 |
| 39 |
/dev/floppy/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,rw,user 0 0 |
| 40 |
/dev/hda1 /mnt/RIC vfat defaults,noatime,user 0 0 |
| 41 |
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/ZERO vfat defaults,noatime,user 0 0 |
| 42 |
/dev/sda1 /mnt/USB auto noauto,rw,user |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot! |
| 45 |
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for |
| 48 |
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). |
| 49 |
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will |
| 50 |
# use almost no memory if not populated with files) |
| 51 |
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
| 52 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Usually, adding this |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
"/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0" |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
should be enough to have your cd-rom/cd-rw/dvd working =). |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
If that does not work, then let us know and see if we can figure out |
| 61 |
something else. If it does work, then great! go on enjoying Gentoo |
| 62 |
Linux. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
You learn a lot using Gentoo. Is the only distribution that gave m the |
| 65 |
chance to learn a lot about Linux. It is very stable and flexible, you |
| 66 |
always have control over your own system, that is very important. |
| 67 |
|
