won't list contents of cdrom
I just installed Slackware Linux 7.0 using the Linux for dummies book. There is a section regarding installing packages from different locations. When I run the pkgtool utility and change the drive to the cdrom - /cdrom/slakware/xap - I get a prompt for the cdrom directory - when I type ls to get a directory listing, there are no files there. I have an atapi cdrom and when I installed the software it recognized the cdrom drive.
Any suggestions? Is it not recognizing the cdrom drive at all or am I lost in a directory tree somewhere? Thanks. |
Try this:
Code:
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom |
adding to the above post: type that as root.
When you wish to remove the cd, you must unmount it with the umount command (notice the "n" is not present in the command): Code:
root# umount /cdrom |
