how to load a cover disc ?
 
hello,
I am new to linux and have just installed Mandrake 9.2 and know NOTHING. Could someone please tell me how do I install/ read software from a disc. I've just bought my first linux mag with cover disc but have no idea how to load it. Please, please someone help.

Well, sticking it in should work in Mandrake (it uses a special utility called supermount).

It should then be in the /mnt directory, usually under /mnt/cdrom or /mnt/cd.

If that doesnt work, you have to mount it manually, like this:
Code:

su -c "mount /mnt/cdrom"
Replace /mnt/cdrom with the proper directory (look in /mnt).
