19 That's the "SCSI CDROM support" he already has.

26 Add the device(s) to fstab like so:
27
28 /dev/cdrom /cdrom auto noauto,ro,user,users 0 0
29 /dev/dvd /dvd auto noauto,ro,user,users 0 0
30
31 if you have udev setting those symlinks, else use /dev/sr* instead.
32
33 But what I think is missing is some feature of the desktop, aka
34 "device actions", possibly sys-apps/gnome-disk-utility and some
35 digging in the gnome-config. I do not use gnome.
