Cd-rom


Hi,

I am a total newbie at Linux.

When attenting to operate my CD-ROM, I come across this error:

Quote:
Unable to run the command specified. The File or directory file:/mnt/cdrom does not exis.
Nothing is wrong with my CD-ROM, it is brand new. Knoppix also failed to operate my CD-RW.

What is the solution for this?
