Someone will mention the charter of this list if we wait around a while... :-) So, I mention this as entertainment, not an answer to a question.... That said, I mount a cdrom in 5.2 by typing: #d: Now, of course, "d:" won't work for you, unless you have something like this in your shell resource file: alias d: sudo mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom Note that this utilizes the "sudo" program (/usr/ports/security/sudo) and that it's for an IDE CDROM drive; also, there isn't a directory called "cdrom" on the root filesystem of a "stock" FBSD installation. Basically it's just my lazy shortcut (and a tongue-in-chic laugh at DOS!) Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. PS> as root, try "mount_cd9660 /dev/yourdevice /yourmountpoint"
