How to mount CD-ROM in console (no GUI)

Not everybody using a latest PC or Server. Some administrator prefer to install linux without GUI (just console) at old server/PC to run it smoothly. This is the way how to mount cd-rom on console.

1. Go to /mnt with this command
:~# cd /mnt

2. Create directory 'cdrom' with command:
:~# mkdir cdrom

3. Run this command
:~# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

How to check the mount process is success:

1. Insert the cd into cd-rom drive
2. Go to /mnt/cdrom with this command and list it to see what contents in your cd.
:~# cd /mnt/cdrom
:~# ls

That's all.
