It says invalid device /dev/cdrom. What distribution are you using? This is essential to understand what the problem is. Different Linux distributions have slightly different ways of doing the same thing, and mounting CDs is one of them. Try the command "ls /dev/cdr*". If it returns 0 files, try doing "df -h" to list all devices. Then, insert a cd-rom into the cd drive and do "df -h" again: it should list the new device as a "full" disk if you have automount enabled. Try "dmesg" to obtain the boot-up message and search for a line that contains cd-rom: this will probably list either the device used or the problems encountered while probing the hardware. Finally, try this: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/xxxx /mnt/cdrom Or this: su root mount -t iso9660 /dev/xxxx /mnt/cdrom Replace the /dev/xxxx part by the correct device. > By the way if there is some one who can send me the zip archive of > gnu emacs manual please send it at krmane@rediffmail.com so that I You can download this manual from the FSF site, at the following sites: http://www.gnu.org/manual/emacs-20.7/emacs.html http://www.gnu.org/manual/emacs-21.2/emacs.html Unless you don't have access to the www.
