People,

        I have several CDROMS all of which seem to be DOS type.

        At first I tried the disc in my CD player.  Nope; then 
        in one of my 5.3 machines using mount_msdosfs.  (probably
        with the wrong flags, I admit.) As a last resort  I put the
        disc in my RH-8 platform intended to reboot into W2K. But
        a cup of coffee later I find that Red Hat had already popped
        up a window with the title of the disc and that it is a
        1.1MB pdf file.  I doubt this CDROM is a an ISO-9660 
        (or whatever).   But it's nice that  RH knew automagically 
        what to do with it and to pop up  the pdf reader.  

        I know there is the genius in FBSD-land to do this; probably
        just enough not people.  My question is: what are the FBSD
        commands to let me mount this disc and let me read the
        files to be able to point acroread at them?

        tia,

        gary
