I'm having issues mounting an external CD-ROM drive. It's a USB cd drive as the laptop doesn't have a built in one. On the 12.1 version of GhostBSD it worked fine, but on release 13, it doesn't recognise the file system so can't mount it. I even used an audio CD I know worked previously in the same ...

Hi all. I've installed previous versions of GhostBSD before in VirtualBox without any major problems. For one reason or another, I needed to do a fresh install, so grabbed the latest version; 21.01.20. It installs ok, comes up with the desktop and all looks ok except that there are no desktop icons ...
