Correct me if i am wrong but the cdrom entry would be available from the
installer ? It IS a cdrom after all ?
So it would just add itself to /etc/fstab ?
ANd of course it is expected we are savy enough to set it up for ourselves, I
would just like it automagically done. It isn't something that would inhibit
users choices, I personally would change it to mount to /cdrom and mkdir /
cdrom on my first boot. It would just be a little more user friendly to have
it in there already.
