/usr/man, not /user/man. In unix, 99% of the time, we make things easier
to type (since you're going to have to do a lot of it -- or at least,
things are easier and more complete if you do a lot of it...). So always
remove unneeded vowels when typing commands and whatnot. :)

Correcto.

Find out what device your cdrom is. Then, go:
mount /dev/hdX /cdrom
Where X is:
a for primary master
b for primary slave
c for secondary master
d for secondary slave
and /cdrom is some empty directory of your choice.
