Pre-1.0, pretty ambitious!
looking at the web-page, it looks like it's using the devfs filsystem,
try typing as 'root'
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
If that works you will need to edit your /etc/fstab and add a line,
similar too:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
You might want to check out SourceMage's forums for distro-specific help
as I don't know that anyone here has played with that one yet.
Guessing that this is your first time out, you might want to check out
one of more established distros (RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, Debian, etc)
first to get your feet wet and see what's going on before tackling that
one.
