When I type Find / -name "eld*": it finds the file where it located, but gives me an find: mnt/cdrom: input/output error

Then it "freeze", Why is it doing this? and how would I get out of this "Freeze" mode if it happens again? After like a

good 2 minutes it will go back to the root prompt then I will be able to enter commands again.

Sometimes, I wouldnt have to use the eth0 up command and put in the ipaddress of the machine again, why do i have to do this?

When I try to remove a user that I created, john. I get this: /home/john not owned by john, not removing. What is this,

why can't I remove this user? I am still logged in as root, but I can't remove this guy at all. When I recreate this user

it reacreate fine, which shouldnt happen, because its already in the /home directory... I am very confused

Is this the only time you get the error? Is the cd-rom mounted before you did this? Try unmounting it and then trying find. Just an idea...

Is there a DHCP server or are you using a static IP?

And how are you deleting the user?

As you can see you need to provide more information...Even give the exact steps as to what you are doing.
