Cristian Gary,
i've grouped it into plugdev.
Richard,
After i type this command "/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user
0 0" it shows:
bash: /dev/cdrom: Permission denied
i've login using root account. i've right clicked at the cdrom to see the
properties and under Permissions tab the Owner column stated unknown and i
tried to change the Access column to Read and Write it popup "The permisions
could not be changed"
Regards,
Norman
