new dvd rom

[timmm76]

I'm using Suse 8.0 and just went out and bought a new dvd rom. I was wondering if someone could give me some direction in how to mount it? Thanks much..

Nobody has answered yet? Sorry.

Are you just trying to mount the dvd or find a way to play dvd's?

For mounting, just use the normal mount command.

mount -t iso9550 /dev/hd? /mnt/<mountpoint>

For playing dvd's, look into Xine.

Thanks, I'll try that in a bit. I am just trying to mount it at this point. From reading other peoples posts about xine I'm gonna take my time with that....seems as though many people are having problems.
Thanks

how do I figure out which hd?. This is all new to me. When I first started using linux my friend installed red hat 7.3 for me and since then I have installed suse 8. So as you can see all this stuff was done for me.
Thanks again

dmesg | grep hd
