Now I want to use it= for file storage. What programs must I have to be able to read from an= d write to a CDROM ? What is the structure of information on a CDROM = ? If it is a FreeBSD file system, how do I mount the device, or doe= s mount -ing it cause it to be considered a file system and that isn't = what I want? If I want to share a CDROM with MSDOS systems, how wou= ld I mount it (as an MSDOS file system)? What about listing the fil= es and directories (if any) on it? Are the programs the same for FreeBSD 6.0 ? FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 200= 1 jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386
