/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0
(If its not already there, it probably is. RH 7.1 installer put that
line in.)
Then just type mount /mnt/cdrom.
Just a note to the origional poster:
Grammer is your friend. Use capital letters. Use paragraphing. Make
sentences. Your postings will be much easier to read, and you will get
more responses.

Spelling is nice, too. (Now, if I can only keep this short enough to avoid
making any spelling errrors of my own. ;-) )

I wish Mozilla .7 came with a spell check :-)
Normally, I copy my text into pico and run ispell. I just forgot this
time. Whoops. Maybe I should just get the newest version of Mozilla :-)

1. Writing to write-protected floppy
Some time ago I had to take some files from home to work. I mounted a msdos
floppy (on Linux), copied the files and umounted the floppy. At the umount
the floppy started to whir, so I assumed the files ware written. At work I
found out that the floppy had been write protected, so no files had been
written.
Shouldn't there be some kind of warning? I know that Unix does write
behind, but I would have liked some kind of indication that nothing had
been written. E.g. the mount could have warned about read-only, or mounted
the floppy readonly, so that the write would have gotten an error.
