bingo, well at least we are moving forward!

< [root at localhost log]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom1
< mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

I tried to mount scd1 (which ought to be the correct designation)
and got the response "unknown device," so I backed up and tried
scd0 and the drive mounted and I can read the CD I stuffed inside!

So do I need to add a line to fstab for /dev/scd0 that looks like
this?:

/dev/scd0     /mnt/cdrom1       iso9660   noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0


And if I do, will I be able to mount the drive (and read its contents
and hopefully WRITE as well) without becoming root? I have already
changed the permissions on /dev/scd0 just in case this works.

Sean, who feels like he has (with a lot of help) solved one of
his many riddles.
