List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi Keith, Assuming that you have a good /etc/fstab file (install should have done this for you) you just need to: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom Since I don't like to type any more than I have to I've got the whole thing aliased to a three-letter command: alias mcd='mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom' This assumes you are using the bash shell. You can determine this by issuing the following command: echo $SHELL Again, bash is the default shell in most distributions of linux including Redhat. If so, then you can place the above alias command in/etc/bashrc. To make the alias to take effect immediately: source /etc/bashrc The next time you boot up your machine it'll be there for you as well. I don't know any linux newbies lists maybe somebody else can help. Jim Wantz On Fri, 29 Mar 2002, Keith Heltsley wrote: > Thanks for the help with the mount command.
