Hi
Don't feel like rebooting.
My dvd writer is showing up in "df -h" as :
/dev/sr0 3.7G 3.7G 0 100% /media/DVDVIDEO
so when i place a say a PCLinuxOS disc in the DVD writer and the window pops up with choices, i choose to open file manager and get a completely incorrect directory other than the contents of the PCLinuxOS disc.
