Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I have been trying to figure out how to mount a cdrom drive ive been reading and that your supposed to go /mnt/cdrom but... all i get is permission denied and then i looked that up and i read that i am supposed to change something with /etc/fstab well i tried going into root and typing that in but it just says permission denied and hmm if you could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated ty
/etc/fstab is a text file, so if you just tried typing that name, the permission denied error was because you're not allowed to execute it Try using your favourite text editor to open that file instead.
Try your mount command as root to make sure everything is set up right, then move on to making it work for normal users.
need more specifics - what distro are you using? what type of CD? what are you trying to do exactly (ie, listen to music, install software, read data, etc.)?
what CroMagnon + s34n said -- there are a lot of progs to play audio CDs - kscd if you have it installed, xmms (may need a plugin, I can't remember), etc.
hmm, well for one thing i accidently put in my cs source cd and i thought it was an audio cd -Doh- but anyways thank you all for your posts i appricate it
