that depends on what type of CDROM you have.... if you are like most PC Users who can only afford cheap hardware (like me) then you probably use IDE,.... the device name would be /dev/hdX (where X is a letter ) a typical setup would be this: you have the hard drive ( C: in DOS) as the first device on the First IDE controller... this device is hda (and hda1 is the first parttion on that drive) the second (slave) device on IDE controler 1 is hdb then the 1st device on ide controler 2 is hdc then the snd (slave) is hdd you probably have the CDROM as either /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc (thats the one I use) you could have a differnt setup (say if it is SCSI) but I would say that is by far the most common, espcially for new users -Steve
