How to a see the contents of my CD drive
in a Scoopen server station. In a windows based system you just go to mycomputer- and than double click the cd rom drive icon...simple....But i need to see the same but for a SCO open server....i want the same for a floppy drive tooo...

By the way, i tried (scoadmin ) command but couldnt go further...

Thanks

Well, i just found this :

cd /cdrom/cdrom0


please help, icannot understand why such an easy topic is so hard to find info. about on the net ?

There is a bit of info out there on this...maybe it's your search criteria.... I just did a quick search on google with this

"accessing CD-ROM using Unix"

And got a bunch of stuff (Results 1 - 10 of about 60,900)

So it's out there - and I'd guess by looking at the first site amongst those pages you'll find everything you need to know.

If your next step is to mount and copy, you will need to mount it to a directory on your system.


mount -ro cdfs <cdrom device> /cdrom (mount point on UNIX)

Your syntax may vary. Check the mount command in the manpages.

depending on what u use on Linux(red hat and mandrake) just go : mount /mnt/cdrom
if that does not work
try get some answers from: man mount
any way it strongly depends on what u use...
sorry but that how it is...
