You probably don't have an entry for it in /etc/fstab. Look in /etc/fstab for anything cdrom-related. (The mount point may be different in Slackware). If you don't find anything, then add the following line to /etc/fstab: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 Change /dev/cdrom to /dev/hd?? if /dev/cdrom isn't a link to the actual cdrom device. And create the /mnt/cdrom directory if it doesn't exist yet. Then you should be able to mount /mnt/cdrom.
