[plug] Mandrake 9.0 add software...

In my fstab, I've got the cdrom drive set to /dev/cdrom, with a symbolic 
link set to /dev/hdc (that's my position on the IDE channels). That's going 
from memory, but try linking to the genuine position. But then again, I got 
the impression that you had an IDE cd-rom drive as well as a SCSI, but I 
have a headache at the moment, so forgive me if that was wrong. ;)

>I've just upgraded to 9.0 and tried to load additional software using 
>Mandrake Control Center "Install Software".
>It calls for " ... insert the medium named "disc 2 Download Edition Second 
>installation CD (x86) (cdrom 2) on device [/dev/scd0]"
>I have 3 discs marked 1, 2 and 3 respectively and the system refuses to

>install the 9.0 update.
>My cdrom mounts at /dev/cdrom which has a link to cdroms/cdrom0 whereas 
>/dev/scd0 has a link to scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd.
>This seems to be the problem - but how should I rectify it?
