This appears to be the well-known FAQ about providing access to the CD drive for non-root users. Perhaps this will help: Go to /usr/share/doc/ on your machine, and look for the FAQ directory. In that document, you will find that chapter nine, question 9.22, is titled "How do I let ordinary users mount floppies, CDROMs and other removable media?" Since the document in question is an html document, you will be able to use a browser. > Also, could someone address the question of ATAPI compliance of > devices? I'm not sure what this means; what question of compliance?
