first u must unmount the cdrom

# umount /dev/cdrom

then remount it using the new mount point

# mount /dev/cdrom /home/cdrom

that's it

U also have to edit your /etc/fstab

Code:
/dev/cdrom              /home/cdrom              iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
for example.


#mkdir /home/cdrom
to create folder.
