Type: mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0c /cdrom You've to specify the file system type since it's not ufs (the default) and the partition (c is the whole disk). > Oh and one more thing, how do I add a user? There's an adduser command. Alternatively, you can do it step by step by yourselve: Type ... vi /etc/groups ... to edit the group file and add a group `users' vipw ... to edit the passwd file and add a user (e.g.`qr') mkdir /usr/home/qr ... to create the home directory chown gr.users /usr/home/qr ... to change its ownerchip That are the basic steps. You will then want to create startup files for the login shell etc. > If you could help me in this I would be most grateful.
