>From a root console, type the following command; mount /mnt/cdrom when you're done with the cd, re-open a console as root, and type; umount/mnt/cdrom When you set up mandrake, you probably didn't enable "supermount". That's probably your problem. It means that you'll have to use the above procedure until you re-install. However, I'm sure that I can help you edit the "fstab" file located in the "/etc" folder on your linux drive. Locate the file, and attach it to an email. Send it directly to me, and I'll see if I can edit it for you, then return it to you. Once you get it back, copy it back into your /etc folder (make sure you rename and save your existing fstab file first!), then type the command ; "mount -a" at a root prompt. That will apply your new fstab file, and should enable "automount"-ing.
