     I am running the following configuration:

    - colinux 0.6.2
    - Debian Testing
    - KDE 3.3.0

    I am trying to remote mount a CD-RW drive.

    The host system for the CD-RW drive is Windows XP Home.

    I have the following line in the etc/FSTAB file:
    //ROSS-WINDOWS/AudioCD(D) /mnt/cdrom smbfs user,noauto 0 0

    When I attempt to mount the CD-RW drive, I get the following error message
    (please remember that this is a remote CD-RW device that is why I not
    mounting it as /dev/cdrom)

    "could not resolve mount point /mnt/cdrom"

    I am successfully mounting a hard drive on the same host using the following
    line
    in the FSTAB file:
    //ROSS-WINDOWS/Maxtor(E) /mnt/maxtor smbfs user,noauto 0 0

    Why won't the CD-RW drive mount?
