David, Go to the /dev directory and see if there is a symbolic link for cdrom pointing to /dev/???. Most IDE CDROMs will be /dev/hdc by default, SCSI will be /dev/scd0.
You can also just try the following command after putting a CD in the drive. mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom Hope this helps, Steve Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] david.j.jasper wrote: > I have recently installed Linux, and am having trouble locating the device > name > of my cd.
