I just recently bought a DVD so I could read my Mandrake 9.0 DVD. The funny thing is it will boot the DVD to do a new installation. I already have Mandrake installed and just want to add the DVD to the file system. I can't figure out how to do that. Can anyone help?

Thanks

You have added a DVD drive to your system and now want to be able to mount a cdrom or play a DVD?

What IDE port is it connected to?

Add

/dev/hd? /mnt/<mountpoint> iso9660 ro,users,noauto,umask=0 0 0

to /etc/fstab and mount a regular cdrom using

mount /mnt/<mountpoint>

For playing DVD's, look into installing Xine and the supporting libraries.
