How do I mount my cdrom/zip?
RH 5.1 will put the right line for your cdrom player in your /etc/fstab file it will probably look something like this: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 1 1 /dev/hdc is the master device on you secundary IDE controller hda is the master on your primary IDE controller, hdb is the slave on your primary IDE controller and hdd is the slave on your secundary IDE controller You can mount your cdrom by typing: mount /mnt/cdrom [enter] When you wanna insert another cdrom, you will first have to unmount the drive, do this by typing: umount /mnt/cdrom By changing noauto into auto in the etc/fstab file , RH 5.1 will automatically mount your cdromdrive when booting (when there is a cdrom in the player). When you have a Iomega IDE zip drive in you pc, you can add the next file in your etc/fstab file: /dev/hd? /zip msdos auto,rw 1 1 Use the right letter instead of the question mark I use rw instead of ro (rw=read,write)
