Well, its pretty obvious that root only can mount, and you're using |
| 26 |
k3b without root privileges (as a normal user), dus you can't mount |
| 27 |
it, nor use it. |

Something like the "user" option is missing, that would allow your |
| 33 |
normal user to mount and use the drive, make it: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0 |

There's no need for that. |

You do that as root, don't you, and besides, a cdda player don't need |
| 54 |
to mount cdroms, it uses the device itself in read-only mode. But to |
| 55 |
copy files, you need to mount, and to mount you must be root, or |
| 56 |
change the fstab file as stated above. |

You should be able to do all you can do with your drive, in your case, |
| 66 |
I believe you can read cds and read dvds, but as far as I know, you |
| 67 |
can't burn cds, its a dvd drive, not a cdrw or a combo. (at least |
| 68 |
considering the name, I may be wrong) |
