CD's aren't "partitioned" try this: mount -t iso9660{or auto} /dev/hdb /cdrom For your fstab entry to work you can either use /dev/hdb /cdrom iso9660 defaults, ro, user, noauto or do a "ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom" as root would probably be best as many different programs will be looking for /dev/cdrom. -- gvl2 (Gerald) AirBall the Rolling Basket Case (1969 Standard Beetle) LifeSaver (1974 Bay Window Bus) http://www.phorce1.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
