Chances are you've got one of the IDE devices set up as your CD-ROM drive. try the following: mkdir /mnt/cdrom mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom If this works, and your CD has been successfully mounted under /mnt/cdrom (check by typing "ls /mnt/cdrom"), then you'll want to create a symlink to reflect this: ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom Then you can go about updating your fstab. > It does not help that I have no man pages, and my network files are > so different I cannot yet figure out how to get on the 'net to > update to get those man pages.
