hi, i am planning on using my old laptop as a web server in my deskdraw for sharing random files (southpark, open office and maybe this dsl distro), and wondered if i could mount my cd drive cos this would double the amount of files i could share, the cd rom is a giga-slow 6 speed but i dont mind that!

can I mount the CD drive into the public wwwroot folder (not sure if thats what it is called)?

any help would be gratefully apprecited

Using the 'mount' command, you are allowed to mount a CDROM anywhere in your filesystem.  For example, from command prompt:

mkdir /home/damnsmall/my_cd_is_here
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom  /home/damnsmall/my_cd_is_here

Hopefully I did not make any mistakes with the syntax, but you should be able to figure out the general idea.
