I have tried configuring CD-ROM as suggested, but I still cannot acces the drive. System says something like this (just my translation, because I use localized Mandrake...): Cannot access file:/mnt/cdrom. You have not access rights to this place. ...even when I login in root mode. When I open directory /mnt, cdrom icon has a lock on it. When I click on the icon, i get similar message: You have not enough rights to read file:/mnt/cdrom.

Fw: [newbie] Problem with automounting CDROM and floppy
Thanks for your advice, but I am not sure, how to configure these things. Could anybody tell me what should stand in /etc/fstab file for floppy disk and for CD-ROM? I tried to use various settings, but CD-ROM is still unmountable reporting various erros messages...
