hi

Just an update that i'm still no further on and open
to suggestions on why cdrom isn't working...i
installed the o/s from cdrom so it must have picked it
up ok and it was 6 that showed then as where it
was....also it doesn't show in df so whether i'm in it
or not doesn't matter as i can't cd /cdrom at all and
nothing shows. i think something needs to run maybe
another inet service i'm unaware of ?
So i'm still looking for help as i have to zip
everything up and scp it over at mo...
