: When I start the system without having a CD in the CDROM drive
: (or a CD containing no data but e.g.music) something goes wrong:
: the PATH is inclompete, the BASH (my standard shell) will not
: be found, the system prompts me to choose an alternative
: shell (proposes /bin/sh).
: Off course all my bash envorinment will not work (PS1, alias,...).
: What is the reason? What has the bash to do with an empty CDROM?
: Any hints or hints whre I have to look?
check out if your cdrom-related line in /etc/fstab has 'noauto' flag.
