I'm using Red-Hat linux 4.2
I've followed the instruction to try to mount the CD-ROM to the
filesystem, but it fails...
I add a line to the /etc/fstab file as follows:

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user 0 0

and the directory /mnt/cdrom is created
but when I try to mount using the File system manager under X windows
it says that linux can't recognize it as a block system and maybe insmod
driver"
what does that mean??
I actually add that line to the file using the same application too!
Also, I've tried to mount it under command prompt using
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
but it again doesn't work


Can someone help me??

btw, I don't have the source code of linux installed... Does it mean I'll
have to reinstall the whole system to re-compile the kernel??

Thanks,
