cannot find directory on cdrom

Hi, I have a cdrom burnt by a friend with W2000 (I know, friends don't let friends use W ;-) which has (at least) one directory on it which I cannot see when mounting the disk under linux. I am using kernel 2.4.4 and the mount command is the usual mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 I have

Re: interaction between kernel and glibc

2000-10-22 Thread Richard Polton
So what are these unusual conditions? Why would I not need to recompile? If the interface changes then glibc will need recompiling and as far as I can see, the kernel interfaces change relatively often, particularly in the development tree. Moreover, how does one tell which kernel the C library
