Perchance you would like to enlighten us heathens as to the proper
command to mount the CDROM and CDRW. I've tried mount -t fstab
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom and got fstab not supported. Mount -t vfat
/dev/cdrom /mnt/dev get /dev not a block device. Try mount auto
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom get a shopping list of options. Pick one of them
mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom and i get the not valid block
device. If I go to free disk under the system menu the cdroms are listed
as /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom1 with a mount point of /mnt/cdrom and a
driver of iso9660. Tried this at the command line got the same not valid
block device error. If God intended us to use the command line he is
being very obscure about it. Particularly, in view of the fact that my
Mandrake 8.0 system auto mounts these and my SuSe 7.2 system requires
only a right click on the icon. I begin to see why IBM is pulling away
from RH. In any network or IP system the number of heretics who prefer
either auto mount or even right click mounts are bound to outnumber the
number of pure believers who have been able to decipher God's hidden
word in their command window. So if it is not to much for a heretic to
ask, what command should I use to mount the cdrom and cdrw (cdrom1) in
the terminal window?
