Hello,

Can someone please point me to a doc on how to mount a DVD drive.
COrrect me if I am wrong but the DVD file format is UDF? I did not see that as an option when I compiled 2.2.17. Do I need to use 2.4.0testX to mount DVD's? Thanks in advance!

Turn on UDF support under filesystems.

mount -t udf /dev/foo /mnt/bar

UDF is an extra patch for 2.2 kernels (it _may_ be in 2.2.18, I don't recall). It is standard on 2.4. You can get the UDF patches at sourceforge, IIRC.

Cheers, Andreas
