May Tim would do this, since he started the thread.

| Would you please provide us with your ``mount'' command and the output of ``dmesg?'' This will help us determine your hardware and get your CD mounted. It may be the case that you are doing something like this:
|
|     mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
|
| That should be fine except ``/dev/cdrom'' points to a device that does not exist.
|
| You can get a copy of dmesg by performing the following:
|
|   dmesg > dmesg.txt
|
| This will re-direct the output of the dmesg command to a file for later inclusion to your email.
