Motivated if your using Mandrake try the following. via a terminal screen / window type
cd ../../.. (to get ya to root (or as many ../ as needed) from / (root) enter the next command cd /mnt do a ls to see the directories available should see all mount point there (including cdrom) stick a cd rom into the drive then type ls cdrom and you should see a list of whats in the / (root directory of the cdrom disk). another way is to type pushd /mnt/cdrom and it will get you to the cdrom directory in 1 move. Only did the above so you can see the actions 1 at a time. another place to try is doing a ls /cdrom (with a cd in the drive). for that matter you can also do (from where you currently at inside the terminal window) ls /mnt/cdrom _or_ ls /cdrom _or_ if they fail then do a ls /mnt to see directories available. hope this helps you so what.
