This is the entry in my fstab - /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 So I just enter mount /cdrom and it mounts. Otherwise you could try - mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom Of course you'll need to change the letter from c to whatever your cd rom drive is designated, and change the /cdrom to whatever mount point you will use. -- Chip > Do I need to do something special to get it going?
