This will allow a user to mount /mnt/cdrom. Reboot, and hopefully everything should be fine. If that doesn't work, open userdrake and add yourself to the "cdrom" group. Was the CD-ROM burnt using Rock Ridge extensions enabled? If so, then file permissions were recorded to the disc. This means that the files on the disc behave as if they're on your hard drive, in that you need the correct user permissions to access them. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place." -- Douglas Adams
