RE: cannot mount CD-ROM! - Pls help
the /cdrom is a directory that you will change to to view the content of the
cdrom.
for example in you /etc/fstab
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 auto,noauto 0 0
here the cdrom will mount on /cdrom directoy so when you cd /cdrom and ls
and the program on the cdrom will be there.
