Hi!
Installed Mandrake a few weeks ago and just getting my system nice. Am having some problems with my cdrom; if there was already a cd in the drive on startup it didn't appear on the desktop and I had to mount it manually. My original fstab entry was:
dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0

Looked into fstab and changed the noauto in the argument list to auto; the entry then looked:
dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0

This seemed to work well, the only problem being that I couldn't eject the cd as a normal user so then changed user to users so that when it was mounted as root on boot anyone could see it.
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,auto,ro,exec 0 0


This all seemed great until then, as a normal user I tried to eject the cd and put another one in - the eject worked fine but the cd woudn't return! (however it does return id you do the same thing as root) Any idea on how I can get the cd to automount again as it had previously? My auto and users changes seemed to have disabled the automounting?

Thnks,
Rudi

Fixed!

Put the fstab cdrom entry back to noauto and left the users:
dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0

Then edited my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to include a mount /mnt/cdrom

The cd now behaves like on a Mac; if there is a cd in the drive there is an icon on the desktop. If not - no icon!
