Thanks for the info.

I think part of my problem is my fstab file. I don't think its set up to properly access the DVD drive.

I downloaded VLN and when I try to open the disk, nothing happens. I cannot open the DVD drive in Konquor either!

Can someone please send me a working Thinkpad 600X fstab file?

I'm using Mandrake. Thanks.
