How would you do this under Debian? I looked for rc.local, and
don't seem to have one. I have an NTFS partition that I would like
to have mounted everytime I boot into Linux.<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>

<font face="arial" size=2>The easiest whay to know where your cdrom is to

/dev/hdc.</font><br>

<font face="arial" size=2>What you might do is create an alias in your

<font face="arial" size=2>My floppy is /dev/fd0 and the hard drive's
linux is on /dev/hda5. How is a cdrom accessed with linux? Do
I need to mount that drive? Is there a way to fix it so I do not

time?</font></blockquote></blockquote></html>
