F13: Do not mount CD/DVD when inserted into drive

2010-05-27 Thread Frank Elsner
Hello, using F13/GNOME I really don't like that a CD or DVD gets automatically mounted when inserted into the cd/DVD drive. This is really annoying if it a disk I want to overwrite. Where can I disable this behavier? I want to mount it by myself. Greetings, Frank Elsner -- users mailing list
