I'm still learning about the basics of Linux, so please excuse a very basic question: If I want to access a CD do I need to add a line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide and then under superuser type: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom This is how I did it (I think!) before my hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now that I've reloaded Linux I can't edit /etc/fstab with emacs. Emacs works OK with a normal signon, but under SU I get the following messages: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0 check the display environment variable or use "-d" Also use the 'xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine So... two questions: Do I always need to type the full mount command, or is there a shortcut for this? And how can I get emacs to work under Superuser? Thanks, Peter Christensen
