I have installed Basic Linux on a 486/33 with32 MB RAM. using the "HD-install" procedure. Followed that with L.Savage's advice on installing a CD-Rom drive, as given in Basic Linux_350: Post installation suggestions. But I cannot read what files on the CD with the command, "ls /mnt/cdrom". Nothing happens I am dumped back at the prompt.

What do you mean by 'install' a CD-ROM drive?
The standard BL3 kernel does not include CD-ROM drivers. You need to add them manually with insmod. See /root/netsetup:
insmod ide-cd cdrom and isofs.

Yet , when I say,"dmesg|grep -i cd-rom" I recive the correct output (according to Savage)

Neither can I access the files on hda1(DOS).

mount /dev/hda1 /hd
ls /hd

Being a total newbie I would appreciate any pointers in syntax or a good source of man-pages.
I think Steven included some pointers in the links start page. Type links
(assuming you are online with BL3).

My first BL computer was a 486DX 75MHz. 32MB is enough to run Opera 8.54 graphical browser but links2 graphical uses less memory.

Thanks for your help.
