Why is it not mounting the normal way anymore then? As I know it may just be me being lazy but its a pain if i cant right click to mount and have to use that full command as I tend to use cd's a lot. thanks > and then > > cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -data blank=fast home-tmp.iso > > then after the process is finished you can do > > mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o ro > > and see the contents like an ordinary directory.
