CD-Rom and Network card

[JEB]

I am totally new to Linux. I have a Debian 2.2 box, installed from diskettes. I want to mount a cdrom and a netcard, but I do not even know where to begin.

Thanks

first you will want to make sure the directory /mnt/cdrom exists if not use
mkdir /mnt/cdrom

with that done you need to know what dev you cdrom is hda=IDE Pri Master, hdb=Pri Slave and so on or sda=first scsi, sdb=sec scsi
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc(or whatever yours is) /mnt/cdrom

you will have to type the mount cammand after putting the cd in then unmount befor removing it...and there are two ways to unmount

unmount /mnt/cdrom
or
unmount /dev/hdc(your cdrom)

there is a way to have linux do what is called supermount which automaticlly mounts and unmounts you cdrom drives but I am unsure how to configure that...at least now you can use cdroms... :)
