Title: How do I access the Cd-rom drive through root user
Post by: m4oz!nh4 on February 23, 2008, 02:49:42 PM

Hi,

I was reading many posts here but I didn't find a solution for me, that I believe is simple.

So, I tried to access the Cdrom after root login typing  mount /mnt /cdrom and I got "mount: you need to specify the filesystem type".

if anyone can help...

thanks in advance.

About my post, I was wondering about something else. How do I access an ebay (that I created) using hoot user in the prompt?

Thank you again.

Try:

mount /media/cdrom

I notice you have a space in the command both times
mount /mnt /cdrom
mount /media/ cdrom

It should be
mount /media/cdrom

Thanks RayMitchell,

The problem was the linux's manual that I read shown to me mount /mnt/ cdrom but now I used mount /mnt/cdrom and everything worked ok. In fact I already solved my problem accessing the files that I wanted accessing one of iBays. Thanks
