    Basic linux question (cdrom)

    how do i mount a cdrom because i alrdy tried this
    mount /dev/cdrom/cdom
    But that doesnt seem to work
    (im using linux slackware 8.0)

    And yes i do have a cd-rom drive, and it is detected because i installed linux from that cd-rom and when linux boots he detects the cdrom so thats not the problem.
    ::edit::
    it gave me an error something about
    module or whatever not found in /etc/fstab or etc/mtab
    when i searched a lil further edited some thing in mtab or whatever it said when i tried to mount the cd-rom: Kernel doesnt support this

    But when i installed this linux evrything went fine and i installed it from a cd-rom so linux said... if you made it this far by using the kernel from your bootdisk then u should install this one.. and thats what i did.
    The only thing i didnt do during installation was installing lilo on the comp. It gave me an error #1 (dunno what that is but anyway)
    Any suggestions are welcome
    thx in advance
