Bug#100749: cdrom entry in /etc/fstab points to non-existant /dev/cdrom

No, I think we're doing the right thing. If the user doesn't install from CD-ROM, we don't make the link. If the user is installing from CD-ROM and there are more than one, we have them pick, and set /dev/cdrom accordingly. This bug should be closed, IMHO. It's invalid. -- .Adam Di [EMAI
