Hi,

Thanks for the quick response! I have the same entry in my
/etc/fstab. I also tried 'mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom'
but got no joy either.

My CDROM is a DVD, would that make a difference? I'm thinking no,
coz otherwise how could the CDROM be mounted for the installation in
the first place.

Hmmm, strange stuff.

Regards

Eddie
