Hello, I have backups on cdr, and want to restore them under LNX-BBC. However, after booting LNX-BBC the cdrom cannot be unmounted, as it says its busy. I can't see which process has the cdrom open (did an lsof). I even tried to kill a couple of the processes, to see if that makes a difference. Most of the utilities I want are in the ram drive (I think), so I don't think I need to run stuff off the LNX-BBC cdrom when accessing my cd. Anyone any ideas how I can unmount the LNX-BBC cdrom, and swap if for one of my backup cds? If if its a case that I can't use LNX-BBC after swapping the cds, then I can always reboot LNX-BBC again. I'm just using LNX-BBC for hard disk recovery. Many thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Alastair Munro
