John,

Thanks for the tip.  I have a question about it.

Should I put it in the /etc/fstab file as:

1)  /dev/cdrom    /mnt/cdrom   iso9660 noauto,user,ro 00

or

2)  /dev/cdrom
     /mnt/cdrom
     iso9660 noauto,user,ro 00

If it is the first line, how many spaces are allowed between these commands?

Is it this?

3) /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 00

How do I put these commands into the /etc/fstab file?

Richard
