	I am running  FreeBSD  4.3  (see  uname -a  below) and I have only used the  CDROM  to install new versions of  FreeBSD .  Now I want to use it for file storage.  What programs must I have to be able to read from and write to a  CDROM ?  What is the structure of information on a  CDROM ?  If it is a  FreeBSD  file system, how do I  mount  the device, or does  mount -ing it cause it to be considered a file system and that isn't what I want?  If I want to share a  CDROM  with  MSDOS  systems, how would I  mount  it (as an  MSDOS  file system)?  What about listing the files and directories (if any) on it?
	Are the programs the same for  FreeBSD 6.0 ?
