People, I have several CDROMS all of which seem to be DOS type. At first I tried the disc in my CD player. Nope; then in one of my 5.3 machines using mount_msdosfs. (probably with the wrong flags, I admit.) As a last resort I put the disc in my RH-8 platform intended to reboot into W2K. But a cup of coffee later I find that Red Hat had already popped up a window with the title of the disc and that it is a 1.1MB pdf file. I doubt this CDROM is a an ISO-9660 (or whatever). But it's nice that RH knew automagically what to do with it and to pop up the pdf reader. I know there is the genius in FBSD-land to do this; probably just enough not people. My question is: what are the FBSD commands to let me mount this disc and let me read the files to be able to point acroread at them? tia, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
