HI!

I was able to get FreeBSD to run with GNOME.  The only problem I have =
now is that GNOME does not display mounted cdrom on the desktop, and =
also that I can mount the cdrom only once, and once mounted no matter =
that I type unmount /cdrom or umount /cdrom the message I get is that =
device is busy, even though I can see that the drive is not being used.  =
How can I get GNOME to display mounted cdrom graphically so that I can =
simplify mounting/dismounting  CDROM's

Also how do I install packages from the CD which have .tgz ending to =
them?

Thanks for your help,

Mike
