Hi, if you have a windows station on your network and samba installed on your linux box, put your cd-rom in cd-rom drive of the windows station, share the drive on the network and mount the drive on your linux box. To mount the drive you can used smbmount (provided by the debian package ksmbfs), smbclient or rumba (not available in debian package yet but rumba is the better choice). On user level, you can used smbclient smbclient didn't mount a drive, it's more like a ftp connection. On su level you can use smbmount, smbmount isn't available in user level because smbmount used kernel code, so if smbmount crash, the kernel crash... rumba is like smbmount but without kernel code, no risk to crash linux. To use this commands, the syntax is:
smbclient \\\\host_name_\\drive_name_on_the_network ex: smbclient \\\\young\c-young smbmount //host_name/drive_name_on_the_network mount_point ex: smbmount //young/c-young /young /young must be a empty directory on the linux box rumba //host_name/drive_name_on_the_network ex //young/c-young /young /young must be a empty directory on the linux box Good luck, Dany Dionne Physics Department Laval University, Canada On Sun, 22 Jun 1997, Heiko Schlittermann wrote: > Hi out there, > > sure, not very Debian specific, but this is the list I expect > the fastest answer from .... > > I'd like to copy (for private use, of course) a CDROM.
