Thanks > so much! > > Matt Hi Matt, First, you seem to have two lines in your fstab file that refere to the same device and mount point. Try just one and set the file system to iso9660 or auto. However, there is no need messing with fstab untill you can mount it manually. Make sure the dir /mnt/cdrom exists, or create it. try: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom (you can probably drop the '-t iso9660' and it will auto detect the fs) See if that works (with a regular iso9660 cd in the tray). If not, please post the error it produces. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
