Hi,

Is there any way to access data files on a CDROM from the computers in the
CDF labs?

If I recall correctly

mount /cdrom

should do it. Files will be in /cdrom/. When you're done

umount /dev/hdc

will unmount the disc. (One would think 'umount /cdrom' would be
the logical counterpart, but I don't think it works.) kde has
a graphical way to mount cd's.

Actually, "umount /cdrom" works (well, it just worked for me on a CDF
workstation). The `mount' command looks up the device name in
/etc/fstab, and the `umount' command looks it up in /etc/mtab.

In fact, even "eject /cdrom" works. ;^)
