How to mount a CD-Rom in Slackware 8.0
Hi Guys,
Ok, iv got something weird going on here. I have got Slackware 8.0 installed and working. I installed it off my cdrom. but now it will not mount in KDE. I have tried entering this: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom ISO9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 in the /ect/fstab folder when i try to mount in the bash i get this error: no final newline at the end of /ect/fstab? What is this? what kind of line do i need to place in the folder? Please explain clearly, in very very new to linux and I do not know my way around linux yet. thanks Daryl:Pengy: |
do what it says!
make sure there is a blank line at the end of the fstab file.
If you're just mounting a cd the odd time, there's no need for the fstab line: mount /dev/hdc /mnt -t iso9660 -o ro,noauto You don't need user 0.0 because it defaults to the user it's run as (which unless your mount is suid root, will be root). |
also from a command line you can just enter this to mount the cd..
first create a /mnt/cdrom directory.. then, $ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # mounts the cd $ cd /mnt/cdrom # cd's into the directory of the cd $ ls -al # lists all the contents of the cdrom |
DO it, as root:
ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom echo '/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0' >> /etc/fstab chmod 666 /dev/hdc exit Login as a common user and type: mount /cdrom Ta-Da! HTH vfs. |
Thanks ITs working
Thanks to all those who posted, i was able to get the cdrom working. Glad this forum is working :-)
