Using Cdrom (Old Method)

1) Make a Empty Folder

#mkdir media
#cd media
#mkdir cdrom
2) Mount the Device filesystem to the empty
Folder
#mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
3) cd /media/cdrom
4) Now you can browse through the CD
5) To Release the CD, First come out of
the folder
# cd /
6) Give umount command and the folder
name in which the Device
was mounted
#umount /media/cdrom
Similarly you can use floppy
# mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy

In RHEL 5 if you insert the CD. You can view it by
# cd /misc/cd
To release the CD
# eject
