Hi, The "dselect" program will mount the CDROM for you. I assume you wish to get the "rest" of the debian SW on your machine and that is why you wish to use the CDROM at the moment.
You can brave dselect now, chose the Multi-CD option in ACCESS. When it asks you for the device, specify /dev/mcd for it. It will ask you a few questions about directories, but since you have the CD, you should be able to hit RETURN for everything. Then refer to my earlier post to brave dselect, but I REALLY recommend getting more info on "deselect" if you get too frustrated. If you wish to see if the CDROM works first, execute that mount command that was posted, or you may be able to get away with mount /dev/mcd /mnt (mounts the CD as /mnt) ls /mnt (lists the files in the top level directory) df (shows you what is mounted) umount /mnt (unmounts the /mnt which is your CDROM now) You may have to use "mount -t iso9660 /dev/mcd /mnt ro" or whatever was contained the other post. I'm sure you wrote it down or have it. John

Yes, I think Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 00:36:05 -0600 I pulled the interface card and the first thing that I noticed is that nothing was set to default. I thought I would restore the jumper settings and the switches to default and try it. I went into modconf and installed the module to the kernel. It worked! It succedded. Now how do I mount it? I am very grateful for your coaching. The part about not trusting that something is set to default did it. Jeff
