HI well i am forgetting how to mount an cdrom i have in my fstab an entry for cdrecorder and cdrom which mount ok when i go into kde but i cant seem to mount the cdrom from the console can anyone please tell me thanks! BOB

Um... 'man mount' tells you everything you need to know. The basic syntax is:

mount -t [filesystem name] [device name] [mount point]

Thus, I mount my CDRW drive by doing:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom
