/dev/cdrom is a tradition followed by most Linux systems. It is not your CDROM device, but instead, a symbolic link to the CDROM device. First, you'll need to know which device is your CDROM. This can be sen at boot up. If it's an IDE CDROM, it's most likely hdb or hdc. Try 'cat /proc/ide/hdc/model' to verify this. If it's SCSI, It's probably scd0. You can then create /dev/cdrom by executing the following commands as root: cd /dev ln -s cdrom hdc ls -l cdrom This will create a symbolic link from /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc. Read 'man ln' for more info. Then, mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom should work. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PGP and GPG public keys at http://meta-x.net/keys/
