[techtalk] 6.1 install, the undead

One of the reasons I wanted to upgrade is that I can't seem to mount the CD
ROM. I have tried many different pieces of advice. The most frequently
suggested being "type mount /dev/hdc/cdrom (or whatever your cdrom is
usually hdc but maybe hdb or ?)" When I type that command in any form I get
"can't find /dev/hdc/cdrom in /etc/mtab or /etc/fstab"
I'm going to guess that its because I didn't set something up? I just
recieved Running Linux and Linux in a Nutshell both O'Reilly books. If you
happen to know what to look up in there that would be great. Or just giving
me advice directly is always appreciated! ;)

I got the same thing that Tonya did:
I found when I pressed Alt F3:

and i had trouble with the bootdisk that i got right off of the cd. What
myself and a friend ended up doing is we booted into 5.2 (the then current
install) and mounted the 6.1 install cd. then we ran the update from
there. Worked like a charm.
must be the bootdisk problem, although I tried using the 5.2 bootdisk that
i had and still had the same results as trying with the 6.1 bootdisk....
what a weekend! and it's still monday..... :-|
