- If you have the ISO9660 support in your kernel then:
-
- /etc/mount -t cdfs [-r -o options] device directory
-
- This will mount the CD on ultrix. You should use the noversion and the
- defperm options.
-
-
- One can then export the directory via NFS. As an example take ftp over to
- gatekeeper and you will notice that there are CDs mounted there.
-
- Look in the man pages ... cdfs (5cdfs) and mount (8cdfs)
