What are you specifically using for mount? Slackware automatically detects your CD-ROM drives (or at least attempts to) so if done correctly you just have to type:

Code:

mount /mnt/cdrom

Notice that only root can do this at first. For other users to be able to mount stuff you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab (search LQ for this).

To list the contents of a CD-ROM, type:

Code:

ls -l /mnt/cdrom

To unmount a CD-ROM you'll have to not be in /mnt/cdrom and no processes can be using anything or writing to anything in /mnt/cdrom. Type:

Code:

umount /mnt/cdrom

or better yet:

Code:

eject /mnt/cdrom
