	 Unless my memory has faded even more, a possibility I won't rule out, I 
	 used to be able to mount cd's with 

			mount /dev/hdc /cdrom -t iso9660


Here's what works for me:

mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

where -r is read-only
-t iso9660 is the type
/dev/hdc is the drive -- check with dmesg to find out what device your
                      -- drive really is (it might be /dev/hdb)
/mnt/cdrom is the directory you have to create before you try to mount


HTH

joeh

	 I now get, 

	 mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
	 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
					or too many mounted file systems
	 eyry:/home/hawk# mount /dev/hdc /cdrom -t iso9660
	 mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
	 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
					or too many mounted file systems

	 Have I forgotten something?  

	 I've tried this with my imsl documentation disk, and a couple of 
	 windows disks.

	 I just bought a gaggle of windows programs for the kids as the local 
	 dollar store had them for .99 and 1.99, and I need to get them off the 
	 cd's and onto the laptop.  Preferably to run under dosemu and windows . 
	 . .

	 (hey, my 7 year old can use linux.  And preferred linux games like 
	 xjewel to the fancy windows stuff.  I'm trying to keep her sheltered as 
	 long as possible, and not have to explain the ugly facts of the real 
	 world--like microsoft :)
