Mandrake mounts bui I can't see the files


Hello all.

I have a problem,
When i insert a cd into the cdrom mandrake does not displays the files,
so I tried to mount /mnt/cdrom but it was already mount and still cannot browse my files

Does any body know what is going on?

Thanks

/mnt/cdrom is a mount point...

You want to mount the device, which will probably be /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd (trick: /dev/cdrom is probably a link to your cdrom device.)
So:
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Now use command line or file browser and navigate to /mnt/cdrom. Your files should be there.
