As Gina says, it's NOT on /dev/hdc. Whatever made you think it is? Mine is /dev/scd0, and I can't imagine any reason yours would be different. If you must mount via /etc/fstab, then: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 But it's so much easier to use hal / pmount / udev (don't know if that's available in Sarge - I'm using Ubuntu) to handle it all pretty much transparently. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
