Adding programs

[jwantz at hpcc2.hpcc.noaa.gov]

Hi Keith,
Assuming that you have a good /etc/fstab file (install should have done 
this for you) you just need to:
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Since I don't like to type any more than I have to I've got the whole 
thing aliased to a three-letter command:
alias mcd='mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom'
This assumes  you are using the bash shell.  You can determine this by 
issuing the following command:
echo $SHELL
Again, bash is the default shell in most distributions of linux 
including Redhat.  If so, then you can place the above alias command 
in/etc/bashrc.  To make the alias to take effect immediately:
source /etc/bashrc
The next time you boot up your machine it'll be there for you as well.
I don't know any linux newbies lists maybe somebody else can help.
