Umm, I'm not trying to be rude, but the above might be confusing. /dev/hd* is not a "mount point" but a device. The mount point can be any directory. For a cdrom, it's often /mnt/cdrom/ or /cdrom/. You mount a device on a mount point: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdh /mnt/cdrom ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ fs-type device mount-point -- Pat Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hobbes: Do you have an idea for your story yet?
