Hello:

I installed a text-only 10.1 server, with minimal services running.
When tried to mount a CD-ROM like I used to do in 10.0, it took
several minutes and failed:

mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

I learned the following:

1.- With 10.1, you HAVE to create /media/cdrom - no need for this with 10.0

2.- You better pass the "-t iso9960" argument instead of "-t auto",
otherwise it takes MINUTES to mount. It was very fast with 10.0 using
the "-t auto" parameter.

New procedure that worked for me with 10.1 - running as root:

mkdir /media/cdrom (once only).
mount -t iso9960 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

Also noted that my USB pen drive does not get auto-mounted, I guess I
have to do it manually when running without a graphic desktop, I am
still looking for the right "mount..." command for USB sticks. Any
help appreciated here ;)

Best regards,
Martin Cordova
