Putting in Disc 2 and symbolic links

[Curlydave]

Question 1: How do I put in Disc 2? The button on my cd rom drive has never worked in ubuntu, and it's busy so it won't let me eject it from the desktop.

Question 2: What are symbolic links, and should I install them?

2). Symlinks can be seen like a shortcut in the windows environment (if you are used to that)
