By any chance do you know to what device is your CD-ROM attached? For exemple, my cd-rom is the slave drive of the first IDE, therefore it is /dev/hdb. The usual IDE device are:
/dev/hda: Master of first IDE slot; /dev/hdb: Slave of first IDE slot; /dev/hdc: Master of second IDE slot; /dev/hdd: Slave of second IDE slot. If you know this (that I believe so, since you could install Debian). You may try to mount your cd-rom by using the device name, as in mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom This mounts my cdrom on the /mnt/cdrom directory. If you can do this you may create a link /dev/cdrom to the real device using the ls command. Paulo -- Paulo José da Silva e Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ph.D. Student in Applied Math.
