I have installed Slitaz 3.0 on an old Gateway solo 1250. I wanted to test to hear if I have sound...which I doubt. I tried "mount /dev/cdrom" and I get "mounting /dev/cdrom on media/cdrom failed: Invalid argument So if I am using an incorrect command, and I am never sure with each distro, can someone tell me the correct mount command for mounting the cdrom?
How do I mount my cdrom to hear if I have sound?

Can't adjust volumes...no little boxes under the bars. Also no desktop background just a mottled gray thing. This has to be a bad install of the distro. Nothing new I have been fighting with Linux since Mandrake 10. Still the same old problems persist. Hardware compatibility, lack of dependencies etc.

cat filename.wav > /dev/audio
And if you don't have any wavs and too lazy to get one, anyfile type should work, but all you'll hear is static.
