I am logged in as root at the console. I put the Optical Disk called CPIO in
the cube; it gets mounted on /CPIO w/o even asking the usual question: do you
want to mount... AND then I can't reinitialize it.  The menu called "DISK"
doesn't function. I suspect it thinks the Optical Disk is busy. So I reboot
it, login as root again, put the OD in and everything repeats itself. This
didn't happen before!  What the heck is goung on and how can I fix it? Please
help! Please respond by email. Thanks. Take care...Paul
