hey. when i tried to mount it i got this.
[root@bob /root]# mount -t hfs /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
or too many mounted file systems
is there any way to tell what type of file system was written to the cd by
looking at the device?
thanks
john
