Actually, if you are somewhere under the /cdrom directory structure (which I believe Mark was), you can not umount the cdrom. Failure with a device busy error. cd # puts you into your home directory umount /cdrom # unmounts the cdrom (run as root) On Mark's other question: For your problem getting into a directory under /usr/local/, can you post a transcript of your session to us? Don't re-type in, actually paste the text in from your session. If you can't copy/paste, you can use the script(1) command to capture all I/O of your session to a text file, which you can then edit (strip it to a few lines that show the problem but don't change those lines) and email to the list. I'm willing to bet that once you've documented this to the point where someone can help you, you will have found a solution for yourself. Let's see what happens. -- Troy Settle Network Analyst Picus Communications 540.633.6327 ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Danny ** Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2000 8:42 PM ** To: Mark A.
