The procedure for reading from a CD-ROM is the same as
that for reading from a floppy disk. Assuming that the system
is properly set up, you can issue the following command for Redhat Linux:
[root@localhost /]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom
For Slackware, and Debian
[root@localhost /]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom
/cdrom
