Hi, Was having trouble today mounting a CD rom drive in a RH 8 2.4 box today. I put in a blank CD-R and tried several commands such as ?mount /dev/cdrom? and mount /mnt/cdrom and either got cdrom not found errors or can?t find media errors. Can anyone give me any suggestions or idea as to what I did wrong? I was trying to format a new blank disk and then write to it. I rarely use it so cd roms in a linux box is fairly new to me. I was also reading my RH 8 Linux server book by Kabir and it is very thin on CD rom mounting and management. Should I have used an mt or mnt command instead? Also can anyone recommend to me either a good book or on line documentation about managing CD roms and floppy drives for a RH 8 system? This is what I have in fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda7 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 Thanks for any info. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
