...the last time i used Mandrake (7.1) as far as i can remember it mounted the drives for me...i think. You could maybe do it manually. Check /etc/fstab first and if there's no sign of a cdrom or floppy being mounted then you will need to mount it yourself.

Fstab would look something like this for the cdrom and floppy with a a bunch of other stuff..

# pico /etc/fstab

/dev/fd0 /mnt ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro 0 0

If there is then all you have to do is put a disc in the drive and...

# mount /cdrom

If not then you then...

# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom

To unmount then...

# umount /dev/cdrom or /cdrom

I'm on a windows machine but i would imagine that there is a man page for mount..

# man mount

Good luck!
