Absolutely, but this is a separate issue. You can still, in any desktop environment, click on a CDROM icon in the filemanager/desktop/wherever, and have the CDROM automounted. That's done with pmount. This is only /automatic/ mounting on CDROM insertion, where it pops up a window or runs a program on insertion. Without this automatic HAL notification, you can still easily access the CD without any manual "mount" command. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
