This how-to will describe how to mount your cd rom in linux.
all you have to do when you are in the command line prompt is to type the following command

Code/Command:
mount /dev/cdrom



Thats it! to view the files in your cdrom disk, just type the following command:

Code/Command:
cd /media/cdrom



once you are in the cdrom directory, typ ls to list all the files in your cd

very easy huh!

note: I was using Redhat/Fedora for this example.
