It should be either a raw device (the first character in the line will be `b') or a symbolic link (first character is `l'), like this:

In that case, what you should have done was: # ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom # mkdir /mnt/cdrom # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom If your drive is somewhere else, you will have to link the appropriate device to /dev/cdrom or use the appropriate device directly in your mount command. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof."
