Re: Cd-rom help

[Mike Burger <mburger bubbanfriends org>]

Ok...This is a start.

Now, as I said, before, type "ls -l /dev/cdrom"

The resulting output should end with "-> /dev/hdc"

If it does not, then, as root, issue the following command:

ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom

Then, once that's done, you should be able to "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom 
/mnt/cdrom"

The other option is to mount /dev/hdc, directly, ie:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
