How can I limit CD drive speed while on the live CD to avoid drive noise?
- by iugamarian
I sometimes disconect my harddisks for the weeks while only using the internet and I use the Ubuntu Live CD. But every time it needs something while in live desktop it accelerates and makes a lot of noise, also the acceleration takes too long. I want lower drive speed than acceleration lags, because acceleration lags stop me completly exactly when I need something.
How can I lower the CD drive speed, say to maximum 16x, without restarting?
I can't restart because I only use the CD drive, no harddisks, no flash disks, no network disks.
Edit:
No USB drives.
Setcd does not work for the live session.
