Once again, do not ask or answer questions in -newbies, it might
cause you more trouble than you already have..
try -questions instead.

to read files, mount /cdrom is definitely not enough.
might wanna try 
>su
*passwd*
#mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom 
#ls /cdrom

and if your cdrom device is not acd0, then just replace that with 
the correct device.
you might want to look at "man mount" and "ls /dev/ | more"
-lots of interesting information..
