Hi A couple of months back I got some good advice from Simon Wood and others about mounting CD-Rom images
[Simon Wood] You can create a binary copy of the contents of a CD >to a file on the disk with: dd if=/dev/hdc of=cd_image_1.iso bs=1024K
assuming /dev/hdc (secondary master) is you cdrom >drive, 'bs' just sets the block size and speeds up the >copy.
Then you can mount this image as if it were a normal >CD with: mount -t iso9660 -o loop >cd_image_1.iso /fake_cdrom1
This works brilliantly but I'm having problems adding these to fstab. Every way I try it doesn't like. If the image is mounted as /cdshare/img1/img.iso can someone suggest the correct instructions to stick in fstab? Thanks James Carter
