I run slackware 7.1 with the 2.2.16 kernel. After som trouble i reinstalled slackware and it worked even better than before with one exeption: My cdrom is being mounted as /cdrom ... but .. i can`t read my cd`s when i change directory to /cdrom... in X-win i can play audio cd`s with the cd player.. :confused:
(has anyone gotten isdn to work in SW btw?)

u sure its getting mounted on /cdrom then, if you cant actually view the contents of the cd??

What does /etc/fstab say?

Well .. you`re right, it didn`t mount. (I`ve installed SW a few times, and it has always done that before) The problem now is that I have to type mount /dev/hdc /cdrom every time I boot up. Where can I place that command so it will be done during boot ? liloconfig ?

put it in correct format in /etc/fstab

like this
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0

if you don't have /dev/cdrom type this to make the symlink to /dev/hdc
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom

that should do it
