Hi Michael,
Do a NFS mount !!!
Ensure that mountd is running on the machine that has the CD.
Ensure that rpc.nfsd is running on the machine where you want to mount.
Things to do on the machine that has the cd rom drive.
Make an entry in the /etc/exports file --
"/mnt/cdrom ip-add-of-the-machine-where-you-want-to-mount-the-cd-rom(ro)"
Execute the script exportfs
mnt - mount point of the cdrom.
Things to be done on the machine where you want to mount:-
execute this command:-
mount -t nfs ip-address-of-cdrom-machine:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
