Do a 'dmesg' and find out where your cdrom resides, such as hdc or
whatever, then add a link in /dev such as 'ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom'
Then in /etc/fstab add the line:
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,exec,ro 0 0
This allows anyone to mount your cdrom, so you may want to change this
however it will get you started.
All this is referencing 'hdc', change this to whatever dmesg recoginizes.
Make sure you have the mount directory /cdrom or whatever you want to
call it.
Then you can mount it with mount /cdrom

No, No that is the wonderful thing about Unix systems, a re-install is
not necessary unless a complete loss of the system occurs.

Some of my readers ask me what a "Serial Port" is.
The answer is: I don't know.
Is it some kind of wine you have with breakfast?
