First off, PLEASE kill the HTML posting. :-) Second, the
directions you were given were slightly ambiguous. What you
SHOULD be doing is as follows (minus the quotes, of course):
"mount /dev/cdrom /mnt" Please note the space between
"cdrom" and "/mnt" In my opinion, that's not such a great
place to mount a cdrom drive. I'd suggest either creating a
directory "/cdrom" under '/mnt' or off the root "/" and
mounting it to the /cdrom directory. i.e. "mount /dev/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom" or "mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom".
