I've managed to do a minimal install without X, now however my Cd-rom
doesn't work, but unlike before under Mandrake, this time it gives me no
message at all.  And when I try:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

I get the message:

mount: the kernel does not recognise /dev/hdc as a block device (maybe
'insmod driver'?)

and I also tried replacing the hdc with hdb and hdc wih no luck.

any suggestions?
