Hello lug,

SuSE.  I insert a cd into the tray; in Konq the url is  
system:/media/hdb/MP3/Track01.mp3.  But right click to copy this file  
pulls up a secondary window that ends with a "stalled" transfer  
message.  To paraphrase the copy window is Source   
system:/media/hdb/"ect"   file:///home/rob/MP3/Track01.mp3.  But this  
does not happen, a bit of text at the bottom "Stalled."

Why does the cd show as system:media/hdb/?

Not much of a gui guy, I go to the console and /dev has cdrom => hdb  
link. But this is not a directory.

Looking at media I do not see the cd file structure. The only file  
under media is dos. That has a file called System Volume Information  
which in turn yields a file that starts out as  
_restore{8F313569-E9D2...}

I also mounted and unmounted the cd but it does not yield the directory tree.

I gather that SuSE is "automated" but all I want to do is copy a  
single mp3 file from the cdrom to the home directory.

Mohr
