People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
Re: Linux?
Nevermind that last one. I figured out the login as root.
So what now?

Re: Linux?
You want to use the command:Code:mkdir /dev/hdc

But then I get this...
file.iso: No such file or directory

Re: Linux?
It's just because you aren't used to Linux and the way it expects you use it yet.
This is your problem. This line must be executed either in the same directory that the file.iso is in, or it must be turned into the absolute path to that file. eg:Code:sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop
Hope that helps.Code:sudo mount ~/file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop

Re: Linux?
lol
It says the same thing. Does it help to tell you that the .iso is on a CD in my CD-Drive? Maybe it isn't checking my drive for the files location?
Also, where it says "file.iso" in "sudo mount ~/file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop", Do I type in what the file I am trying to mount is called?

Re: Linux?
Yes. And in order to access the stuff from a CD, you should be copying it to a location on your drive, such as ~/.

Re: Linux?
How do I copy it to my drive? I can't even access it lol

Re: Linux?
Not 100% certain. I think you can probably do it through the X windows system. I've never accessed a drive through the command line, although i think the drive is listed under /dev/drivename or something similar.

Re: Linux?
There should be an icon on your desktop, for accessing the cd drive.
