if you have a cdrom and a dvd-rom /dev/cdrom probably points to your cdrom. if your DVD and CDROMs are both IDE I'd do: dmesg | grep ^hd and see which devices are which ..then mount them directly, or make another link..e.g. if cdrom is /dev/hdc: cd /dev ; rm cdrom ; ln -s hdc cdrom and if dvdrom is hdd: cd /dev ; ln -s hdd dvdrom then mount the dvd using /dev/dvdrom .. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
