To get started, try typing 'apropos <whatyouwanttodo>'.
In this case that would be 'apropos mount'. You'll get a listing
with a brief description for each, for all available commands havin
to do with mount. Then typing 'man mount' will describe how to use
the mount command, and refer you to related commands.
Problem is, the MAN(ual) pages were written by and for people who
already understand everything ;) So it's tough learnin in the
beginning, but you're gonna need to get your feet wet sooner or later.
If you don't want to use the command line, you could use Disk Free
to mount your CDROM. It's on your K menu under Applications |
Monitoring. Just right click on the drive and choose mount (or
unmount) in the dialog box that appears. Many of us have been using
it since supermount broke.
