how can i make automount work on debian testing running gnome?
is i insert an audio-cd, it starts whirrling, but no icon on desktop and no any sign of mounting

data-cd-s don't even bother to spin

well, what should i do to make them work?
"ls -al /dev/cdrom" shows me this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2004-02-15 21:00 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0

but i have two cd-roms in my machine...

edit /etc/auto.misc

add line:
cdrom -fstype=iso9660,nodev,nosuid,ro :/dev/hdc

if your cdrom is hdb add :/dev/hdb

edit /etc/auto.master

add line:
/var/autofs/misc /etc/auto.misc

then /etc/init.d/autofs start
or /etc/init.d/autofs restart if is started before

cd /var/autofs/misc/cdrom/

done .. enjoy

check your hardware configuration when your bios check hardware
hda pr master
hdb pr slave
hdc sec master
hdd sec slave
or just test in config file :>
