Mount the CDROM? or other root things?

Depends what they are. To mount the CDROM you just need to add the option 'user' to the /etc/fstab file on the line about the cdrom. As for other things you can either set up sudo or just use the su command to become root temporarily, do what you need to do, then exit from root.

You just lost me....i'm the noobiest noob on this board, you are going to have to go step by step...

From /etc/fstab

Code:

/dev/cdrom       /cdrom           iso9660     user,unhide,noauto,ro   0   0
