I tend to agree with this sentiment! Ive got caught a few times showing
people my linux box and have forgotten to kick the disc out and have
been bashing away at the drive button going what the heck is up with this!
Another "basic" question!
Is there an active database of queries which would contain the command
line comands such as su -c "eject /dev/cdrom" which are highly useful
but instantly forgettable for those that are not power users? In fact
would it be possible to connect to such a database though help with a
How do I...... type of question?
Cheers
