I understand that Linux mounts certain partitions by default at certain locations. You have the kernel image which is located at /boot (?) and the root partition /root mounted at / But why is it that /dev/cdrom is mounted by default on /mnt/cdrom? Why not reduce confusion and mount it on /dev/cdrom itself? Also, what are the other partitions that are mounted by default and their default locations? Thanks in advance, Regards, Abhijit. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
