i've changed the options in /etc/fstab for cdrom to "auto"mount, but still the cd's are not automounted. ie. whenever i insert a cd into the drive, i want it to be automounted, but it does not happen. how do i do it? the exact entry in /etc/fstab is: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 auto,users,kudzu,ro 0 0
The "auto" option in /etc/fstab is meant for something else ... it only means that when the system boots, all partitions that are marked as "auto" will be automatically mounted. It has nothing to do with the insertion of a cdrom in the drive.
For that, you need to install some other util, but i can't remember the name right now ...
Sameer.
