Mounting CDROM

[Nancy Sollars]

which distro of linux are u using i seen alot of this with RH and SuSE ..

RH used to screw up alot on the floppy drive with this error basically i
found that it did'nt like the floppy options either as a module or built
into the kernel.

I did'nt investigate too deeply cuz well i did'nt get these moans from
Slackware.
