i want to take my cdrom drive from my old computer and put it on my linux box as a second cd drive... how would i go about configuring it to be read?

[horndude]

edit the /etc/fstab file and add a line like this:
/dev/hdx /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
then:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom2

hdx=location of cdrom, /dev/hdc=second ide cable master drive, /dev/hdd=2nd ide cable slave drive

you will need to be root to do this

can i have the second drive on the first ide cable slave?

[horndude]

sure----> /dev/hdb

its linux, you can do whatever you want
