Could you please give the command you use to mount CD-ROM? During boot you see messages from the kernel about recognized devices. It should say that it sees the CD-ROM as a device (something like) /dev/sr0 You would then mount it with mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt Alex Y. -- _ _( )_ ( (o___ +-------------------------------------------+ | _ 7 | Alexander Yukhimets | \ (") | http://pages.nyu.edu/~aqy6633/ | / \ \ +-------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
