Hi Mikkel,

Thanks for your response.  To clarify my posting further I re-write it as
follows:

OS : RH 6.0
1) I already have a CD-Rom mounted running as master in secondary IDE
2) now I need to mount a CD-RW as slave to secondary IDE
(under /dev there is only one cdrom)

What shall be the command.  Thanks in advance.

B.R.
Stephen
