Hi,
You access dir's on the cd in the same fashion you would access any other
UFS. Like ls to get a dir listing, and cd dir_name. but you must first cd
to /cd itself. Remember, what you are doing is creating a temporary file
system called /cdrom. To make this clear, look at it this way. Here is an
example UFS (Unix File System).
/ <-- the root slice (partion in gatesvile)
/swap <--the amount of h/d space you allocate as memory (disk not ram)
/usr <--- I need not tell you what is in there
/var <--- many goodies..like your own ftp site
/tmp <--- place to put pron pics in which get wiped out before your g/f
sees them by running the appropriate CRON file
/shared <---where you keep shared dir's for others on your network
/mnt <--- good place to mount your floppy drive
/cdrom <----the place you were having problems with :-)
now go and cd /cdrom type ls and cd to whatever dir you like
Happy cd'ing
