Ok, I took your advice and tried the above and got

mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/hdc as a block device (maybe
'insmod driver'?)

I also replaced the hdc with hdb and hdd.

hdd gave the same message but hdb gave a different one.

mount: /dev/hdb is not a valid block device.

and as far as 'Did you remember to mount your cd?' heh, no, I didn't know I
had to do it in the first place <g>.
