using RH 8.0
I am in gnome for the following:

This A.M. I stuck a CD in my CDROM drive and it automatically mounted. an icon showed up on my desktop and i was able to see what was on the cd. (photos). I was using Open Office and wanted to insert one of the photos into a brochure. then things kinda locked up. I was running redhat update agent at the time. then i had to goto work and left update running. I get home 8 hrs later, finish the update and try to finish the brochure after logging out the logging back in again. now the cd isn't being mounted. I have tried going to term and using :
mount /cdrom
mount /cd
mount /dev/hdb
and all i get is
mount: can't find /cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
or
mount: can't find /dev/hdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
What do I do now?

I think you would want

mount /dev/cdrom

P.S. Right click on the desktop, create new CD device and it will give you right click access on the icon to mount/unmount/eject

No problem. FYI, if you

more /etc/fstab, you can find the mount device label for any of your devices.
