OF COURSE YOU CAN.. THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO MOUNT YOUR CD-ROM IN SOME FILE... ALMOST ALWAYS CALLED CDROM... AND IF YOU HAVE A CD WRITER YOU HAVE TO MOUNT IT MANUALLY IN ANOTHER FILE... THAT YOU MUST CREATE. MKDIR filename then /mount /dev/cd-writer /filename then you have to put those settings in your fstab inside your /etc directory to make it automatic. -----Original Message----- From: Paul [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2000 11:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] cd player (was: modems) On Tue, 2 May 2000, gerald green wrote: >the cd player on linux will not play Can you access the CDRom in linux?
