How do i change what redhat calls my DVD-ROM and CD-RW. At the moment it calls them cdrom and cdrom1.
I tried changing them in "/mnt" but this did not affect them when right clicking o n the desktop.
I would also like to know how to view the linux partition, how much space is free and how much is being used. I allocated %GB and would like to know how much of that is left after the installation.
man df man du for informa
man df
man du
for information how how to get information on used/unused space.

re:cdroms
1. log in as root
2. create two directories in /mnt (with names you want to use for the two drives, "dvdrom" and "cdrw", say):
type in a terminal:
mkdir /mnt/dvdrom
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
3. backup /etc/fstab:
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
4. edit /etc/fstab:
(use any PLAIN text editor)
assuming /mnt/cdrom is the dvd drive, /mnt/cdrom1 is the cdrw (you should check if this is the case):
replace all occurrences of "/mnt/cdrom" with "/mnt/dvdrom"
replace all occurrences of "/mnt/cdrom1" with "/mnt/cdrw"
DO NOT TOUCH OTHER LINES!
5. save the file
6. reboot
7. see if the drives are mounted at the new location, if so, you can delete the two old directories in /mnt:
rm -r /mnt/cdrom
rm -r /mnt/cdrom1
Good luck!
Cheers!
Both peaces of help worked fine. Cheers.
