Desktop System Setup with Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 'Sarge' located at http://thegoldenear.org/toolbox/unices/desktop-system-setup-debian-sarge.html#installation mentions this problem abd suggests work around. (In Installation section): When asked during the installation if you want 'discover' to manage /media/cdrom0, choose 'no' otherwise gnome-volume-manager won't be able to auto-mount discs for you when inserted and logged in as a normal user. (this may now be fixed). In troubleshooting section. gnome-volume-manager won't be able to auto-mount discs when inserted if discover/discover1 is managing /media/cdrom0 because that directory will get removed by discover/discover1. To fix this, either choose not to have discover/discover1 do this at installation (see note in the 'Installation' section; or uninstall discover/discover1 (but we don't yet know of other ramifications of doing this); or there should be a way of disabling this aspect of discover/discover1 once its installed, but we don't know of it yet) I wonder if one should simple reconfigure discover to stop it from removing CDROM. sudo dpkg-reconfigure discover1 > > > > > if so has this been passed to the debian installer team? > > i am suprised to have to do mkdir /media/cdrom[01] each time i reboot.
