The question was valid even if you don't have the technical knowledge to understand it and the ratial comment was just uncalled for.

if you mean devices like floppys you need to use the mount command as follows:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

to dismount:

umount /mnt/floppy

Its very important that you do this with linux, if you dont mount and unmount properly and just take out the floppy, linux will destroy it!

I think mounting a cd is the same, but not sure.

If you really want help with linux there are plenty of linux tutorials on the web, just google it! I personally like www.linuxcommand.org myself
