I'm trying to set my Cd-rom as virtual path in aliases but cannot get it to work. It works fine on a Windows machine but I am running linux (debian/KDE GUI). Has anybody been able to succesfully use a cd-rom as a virtual path in linux? I know the device has be mounted first, which I've done. Ive tried
/cdrom
/dev/hdc/media/cdrom0
/media/cdrom0
none have worked!
Hopefully somebody can help |

You must first know what is the actual mount path of your cdrom before configuring it as an alias: Run the command:
It will list all mounted file systems. The CDROM should have its FS type set to iso9660.
Once you know the mount directory of your CDROM create an alias which virtual path is /cd (or whatever) and which real path is the directory where the CDROM is mounted.

Thanks for your reply,
I did a mount -l and i got
/dev/hdc on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660
i tried /dev/hdc/media/cdrom0 and still nothing.
Can it be something with permissions?
Thanks |

/dev/hdc (the CDROM device) is mounted on /media/cdrom0 so /media/cdrom0 is the path of the CDROM driver.
