Hi- I tried to mount a data cd and it told me that it could not mount /mnt/cdrom because /dev/cdrom is not a block device! Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it? I am screwed right now because I can't use my cdrom drive at all and my good friends at Dell only included one drive on this! Also when I try to mount from my normal user ID it tells me only root user can mount cds. I suppose some one else has suggested adding a line to your etc/fstab where /dev/hdc is given /mnt/cdrom as mount point and iso9660 as filesystem and ro, username and 0 0 you have to login as root or su to modify the fstab also. -- Ray --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Raymond C.
