[Trinux-talk] (no subject)

Hi.

I've created my bootable CD off of trinux-0.80rc2-2.4.5.iso image.

Question. What device is the CD associated with so I can mount it?
It seems odd to not mount the CD since I just booted off of it.

I am also having the same problems as Phill in loading in additional
packages.

Thanks,

Joe
