Mounting the CD in MkLinux

If you want to add some packages or access files from the MkLinux DR3 CD, you will first need to "mount" the CD. While logged in as root, issue the following command:

mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

The CD is now mounted and accessible in your filesystem directory tree under /mnt/cdrom. If you issue the commands:

cd /mnt/cdrom
ls

You will see the contents of the top directory on the CD.

Once you have finished accessing the files on the CD, you will need to "unmount" the CD before you can remove it from the CD-ROM drive. Issue the following commands (as root):

cd This returns your home directory, outside of /mnt/cdrom.

umount /mnt/cdrom
