If you put this line in /etc/fstab: /dev/hda /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide then any user should be able to mount a cdrom file-system at /cdrom, with either: mount /dev/hda or: mount /cdrom The device-name will probably be different on your system, of course. If you have a symlink from /dev/cdrom to the real device-file, I imagine you can use that instead. The `ro' option mounts the file system as read-only. The `user' option lets any user mount the file-system. `noauto' means that the file-system is not automatically mounted at boot time (presumably what's wanted in the general case) `nohide' shows hidden and associated files. One caution: only the user who mounts the cdrom can un-mount it again. Hope this helps, Jim
