Norman,

Good, you did it, you mounted your cdrom. That message is just a
warning, and it is only extra information that the "mount" command
shows you, so you do not have to face any surprises.

That warning is only telling you (as I said before) that your cdrom is
a read-only media.

If you want cdrom to automatically mount when you insert a cd, just
add this line to your /etc/fstab:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom      auto      noauto,ro,user     0 0

And that should work just fine.

Regards,

Richard.
