I apologize for what is probably a very simple question, but I have not been able to mount my cd so as to transfer a file from it to my system. Looking at the /etc/fstab I can see "/dev/acd0c, mountpoint=/cdrom, fstype=cd9660, options=ro, noauto, dump=0, pass#=0. From what I could determine these are all defaults. I have tried the following commands: mount cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom; mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom; mount cd9660; mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom. The result is always a message "Input/Output error." I purchased v4.8 on cd's, and had no trouble loading it onto my systems. I booted from floppies (couldn't get bios to boot from cd) and then inserted cd to finish installation. I have tried changing the fstab, eliminating the option of noauto, so that the system would mount the cd on startup, but I got the same message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Btw, on a previous posting I saw instructions to "ls -l /dev/acd*" and then to "cd /dev && rm /dev/acd* && ./MAKEDEV acd0". Would this have any bearing on this situation? Thanks, Keith
