Hello everyone,

I have an old notebook with a basic Debian system installed and no
CD-ROM, a desktop computer, and a set of 'woody' CDs. I have NFS
running on both the desktop and the notebook, and I can mount the
desktop CD-ROM from the notebook with:

mount debian:/cdrom /dev/cdrom

I know it's mounted because I can 'ls' the desktop CDROM from the
notebook.

However, when I run on the notebook:

apt-cdrom add -d /dev/cdrom

I get:

Using CD-ROM mount point /dev/cdrom/
Unmounting CD-ROM
Please insert a disc and press enter
Mounting CD-ROM
E: Failed to mount the cdrom

My fstab file on the laptop reads:

/dev/cdrom   /cdrom     iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0

I've tried a few different combinations of /cdrom and /dev/cdrom, but I
get the same error.

I'm not sure what I'm doing at this point, can someone help?

thanks... mark
