I'm having difficulty getting Porteus to recognise my CD/DVD device.
I've enabled debug mode as detailed in the FAQ. I can log in and poke around. I don't have /dev/sr0 or /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd. In dmesg I can see that a CD driver is being loaded, but somewhere along the line the device nodes themselves aren't being created. This is the case on VMware (workstation), a Dell laptop and a HP Elitedesk desktop.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Missing CD/DVD device
Hi,
I've enabled removable devices support. If I connect a USB device then it gets automounted in /mnt/sda1. I'm still not seeing my CD device though.
Any suggestions? TIA

Hi roby,
There was indeed a regression introduced just recently. Its fixed now.
Please download 4.8.0 ISO again.
Thank you for reporting.

Thanks for looking into this. It appears that there is some sort of conflict between Porteus Kiosk and my custom-built Node.js package. No idea why as yet. The stock version of 4.8.0 (both new and original download) appears to work properly as expected.
