The way most linux CD burning software interfaces with an IDE CDROM burner is via the SCSI emulation provided by ATAPI complaint CD burners (almost all IDE burners). So, to mount the cdrom, you would use /dev/scd0 - /dev/scd6 as the device. Usually /dev/scd0. Try: $ mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom and see if that works. Otherwise you may want to try 'scsi_info' on the various devices /dev/scdX until you find one that matches your CDROM. On my system this is: [root@logic dtcp_stack]# scsi_info /dev/scd0 SCSI_ID="0,0,0" MODEL="Memorex CRW-2642" FW_REV="1.0h" Hope that helps. _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
