]I booted and selected Linux and put the Soundblaster CD in the CD ROM drive.
]The PDF reader came up and read the files on the disk perfectly. Then...
It sounds like you have TWO drives, a cd drive and a dvd drive. Little
bits of information like that are important.
]I couldn't eject the disk manually. Right clicking the cd/dvd icon, then
Do you mean by pusing the little button in the drive?
What are the lines in /etc/fstab corresponding to the cd and dvd drives?
]eject, opened the OTHER drive (DVD).. . Double clicking the icon brought up
Other-- meaning what? Opened meaning what? (There are many ways that
could be called "opened")

How many icons are there on your desktop for cd or dvd drives? Look in
their properties to see what they refer to. (right click, Properties,
Device)?
]There was no way I could discover to play the DVD. No DVD player installed I

Probably and certainly no player capable of decrypting the CSS
encryption. Redhat nor any other major vendor cannot include those for
fear of the DMCA.
Get ogle to play DVDs.
]point. Double clicking the icon brought up a Konquerer window with the video
]folder. Clicking the folder brought up the various files on the DVD but

]Finally had to reboot the machine to Windows to take the disks out.
Never. a)
sign in as root and do
umount /dev/cdrom
(or whatever
mount
reports as having been mounted that looks like refereing to cd or dvd)
Then hit the eject button.
]Any ideas?
]P.S. I do have the sound cable running from the CD ROM drive to the sound
]card BTW. The sound test produces a great sound, better than Windows even!

"should" in the sense of "they will work better that way" not "should"
as in "that is the only way they will work"
