Nope it was the install disk, I changed it to the live file system then it went wonky. > just a log message, nothing to concern you Got lots of them though! > above makes no sense, either the cdrom is mounted or dismounted! su to root > and issue the mount command, it will show what is mounted.

Other vt's console messages were media changed. Got invalid device or some such when trying to dismount it. I checked all what I had logged in and none of the vt's that were logged in were in that directory. > > you can stop the rc5 client, reboot and pick up where you left off. Ya I know, but its the *amount* of time I had it running for straight...it was pushing over a 100 hours of run time at that point. But at this point this post is mute...last night at 2:01am for no reason I can discern from the logs, the system rebooted on its own. Cron stuff runs at 2am to email me about latest stuff from the system. I didnt get that message, and I turned on the monitor to a login prompt. Last message in message log was media changed at 2am then at 2:01 am I get the log of the machine rebooting. Weird, but everything seems ok, cd mounts and umounts fine now! :) thanks! Keith
