- not nicely....at least not to my knowledge.
-
- this can be fixed however by doing the following...
-
- 1. mount the cdrom using the following commands
- mount -to hsfs ro /dev/sr0 /cdrom
-
- 2. then create a dos directory that points to the /cdrom directory
-
- Then cd to that directory and presto...
-
- I use that option as well as PC-NFS to access PC CD-ROMs as I don't have
- a PC CD-ROM player as of yet.
-
- Hope that helps...
