DoubleVision for UNIX/Linux CD ROM Instructions

Most operating systems will "automount" an inserted CD ROM. If this function is disabled or not working on your system, you can use following instructions to mount the Tridia Product CD.

Mounting Your CD ROM (UNIX/Linux)

  1. Become the Root user by issuing the following command:

su root [Enter]

  1. UNIX Only. Choose a directory to mount the CD ROM from.

While any subdirectory will work, Tridia recommends creating a subdirectory called cdrom. To create a subdirectory, issue the following command:

mkdir /<subdirectory>

The remainder of these instructions assume a directory named cdrom.

  1. Mount the Tridia Product CD ROM. If your operating system is not listed, consult the manufacturer's documentation for instructions on mounting CD ROMs.
