[ale] cd drives, or going nutz the Linux way!

[Geoffrey]

Ooops, my bad, my usb memory stick in my Sony camera has the following 
entry in fstab:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick vfat user,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0

I wasn't thinking about the fact were talking a drive here.

So:

mkdir /tmpmnt
for i in 0 1 2;do
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd${i} /tmpmnt
done


Although, my ide /dev/cdwriter is a sym ln to /dev/sr0, but I'm noting 
that /dev/sr0 and /dev/scd0 have the same M/m device #s.
