Yeah - add a line to /etc/fstab (if it's not there already): /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 You can then mount the cdrom by doing "mount /cdrom" as root. See the FAQ if you want to make it work for non-root users. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
