Hi,
I have Linux system without CD reader. On the other side there is
another Linux system which has a CD reader. My question is what do I
need to configure so that both computer can use the CD reader.
I tried to give mount permission to the other computer and mount it
but I just see nothing under the directory.

Any help somebody can give?

Thanks in advance

Assuming that both PCs are networked and can ping each other, there are
several ways.

On machine with the CD, make sure NFS is running and export the
/mnt/cdrom filesystem
On the other machine mount servername:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

man export

You can achieve a similar effect using samba and smbmount or by using
FTP daemon and client
