Linux?

Also, how do I become the root user??

-SnowFire

Nevermind that last one. I figured out the login as root.

So what now?

-SnowFire

You want to use the command:

Code:

---

mkdir /dev/hdc

---

Okay, so this is what I am doing. I type in this...

sudo mkdir /media/iso
sudo modprobe loop
sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop

But then I get this...

file.iso: No such file or directory

lol why am I having so much trouble with this?

-SnowFire

It's just because you aren't used to Linux and the way it expects you use it yet.

Code:

---

sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop

---

This is your problem. This line must be executed either in the same directory that the file.iso is in, or it must be turned into the absolute path to that file. eg:

Code:

---

sudo mount ~/file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop

---

Hope that helps.

It says the same thing. Does it help to tell you that the .iso is on a CD in my CD-Drive? Maybe it isn't checking my drive for the files location?

Also, where it says "file.iso" in "sudo mount ~/file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop", Do I type in what the file I am trying to mount is called?

-SnowFire

Yes. And in order to access the stuff from a CD, you should be copying it to a location on your drive, such as ~/.

How do I copy it to my drive? I can't even access it lol

Not 100% certain. I think you can probably do it through the X windows system. I've never accessed a drive through the command line, although i think the drive is listed under /dev/drivename or something similar.

There should be an icon on your desktop, for accessing the cd drive.
