Unless my memory has faded even more, a possibility I won't rule out,
I
used to be able to mount cd's with
mount /dev/hdc /cdrom -t iso9660
Here's what works for me:
mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
where -r is read-only
-t iso9660 is the type
/dev/hdc is the drive -- check with dmesg to find out what device your
-- drive really is (it might be /dev/hdb)
/mnt/cdrom is the directory you have to create before you try to mount
HTH
joeh
I now get,
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
or too many mounted file systems
eyry:/home/hawk# mount /dev/hdc /cdrom -t iso9660
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
or too many mounted file systems
Have I forgotten something?
I've tried this with my imsl documentation disk, and a couple of
windows disks.
I just bought a gaggle of windows programs for the kids as the local
dollar store had them for .99 and 1.99, and I need to get them off the
cd's and onto the laptop. Preferably to run under dosemu and windows
.

(hey, my 7 year old can use linux. And preferred linux games like
xjewel to the fancy windows stuff. I'm trying to keep her sheltered
as
long as possible, and not have to explain the ugly facts of the real
world--like microsoft :)
