\_ Warning this is probably annoyingly simple. 
\_ I've still setting my RH 6.2 up and noticed that I can't access the CD-ROM
\_ unless I go through the KDE desktop. Why? 
\_ I'm sure it has to do with mounting the drive, shouldn't that be done during
\_ boot-up ? What am I missing. 
\_ BTW Thanks to all those that helped with the video stuff. Turns out the damn
\_ monitor can't handle the resolution I wanted, oh well back to the store. 

KDE probably front ending mount for you; check your fstab for a line
like:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0

And when you plug in your cdrom, say 'mount /mnt/cdrom' and use it
from there.  Then unmount and eject it.

YMMV.
