are you copying the files as root?

Try typing

Code:

mkdir /mnt/cdrom && mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

and copy the files from /mnt/cdrom

cp /mnt/cdrom/Setup/Data/q4base/*.pk4 /usr/local/games/quake4/q4base

says no valid directory.. mmmm

What does `ls /mnt/cdrom` say?

is the cd mounted? do the dir's you are copying to/from exist?

You might also try /media/cdrecorder instead of /mnt/cdrom. What is the cdrom part of your /etc/fstab?
