I do not have permission to Mount CDROM

go to system - administration and check you settings/previledges in there. You might be able to fix it by changing your preferences
Hope that helps,
Vikram

Vikram,

That was the first thing I did. I think the fstab has to be modified???

I recommend that you not let users be part of the group root. Also recheck System-> Administrations-> Users and Groups.

Select unlock and enter your password. Next select your username and hit the properties button. Then go to the User Privileges tab. Make sure these items are ticked:

Access external storage devices automatically
Use CD-ROM Drives

Your entry in /etc/fstab looks fine.

Hope this helps

Wyatt,

"Unlock" is shaded out. My username has those privileges already

I recommend that you not let users be part of the group root.  Also
recheck System-> Administrations-> Users and Groups.

Select unlock and enter your password.  Next select your username and
hit the properties button.  Then go to the User Privileges tab.  Make
sure these items are ticked:

I'm sorry I am away and have not had time to test it. I will get back to you next week.

Can you list some of the most useful Linux commands???  I used to be a Novell Adminstrator and am familiar with DOS. The Unix help files are very convuluted and the tutorials are very long winded.

Yours Truly
