That's the "SCSI CDROM support" he already has. >BTW I try to do things as simply as possible : >using Fluxbox + Openrc, I mount /dev/sr0 on /mnt/dvd (as root), >then (as user) 'cd /mnt/dvd' & use Most/Mupdf/Feh/etc to look at the files. >Quick, effective, foolproof ... (smile) Add the device(s) to fstab like so: /dev/cdrom /cdrom auto noauto,ro,user,users 0 0 /dev/dvd /dvd auto noauto,ro,user,users 0 0 if you have udev setting those symlinks, else use /dev/sr* instead. But what I think is missing is some feature of the desktop, aka "device actions", possibly sys-apps/gnome-disk-utility and some digging in the gnome-config. I do not use gnome.
