Now here is the confusing bit. Perhaps the email  subject should be renamed 
"WHAT'S GOING ON" Since my last email, I must have rebooted into Linux 3 or  
4 times, switching off for a while or rebooting into windows etc. Each time I 
booted into Linux, I tried mounting the cdrom drives. Now I find, that 
inserting a cdrom and closing the drive door, it auto mounts itself? No need 
to manually mount the drive. Also, scd0 and scd1 have now swopped as to which 
drive they are referencing. I've not altered anything, apart from downloading 
via the update manager, updates for glibc and 2 other files which stated were 
for the basic running of the filesystem. Is there a bug in the basic download 
2 cd set? and it needs these updates.
Thanks everyone anyway, but as  the man who got a payrise said, "it would be 
nice to know why"
