All right, right-click on any vacant area of the screen if you are using KDE and select "Create New" and then CDROM Device and then look at the Device tab and select the item that says (/mnt/cdrom) as part of its name. Do it a second time and look for (/mnt/cdrom2). You will now have your devices on your desktop, and if you left click them it opens them and mounts them same time. If you right-click those Icons once you have mounted something (and provided you are done with it and have closed any directories or terminals logged to it) you will see Unmount and Eject as choices. You can Unmount and then push the button on the CD Drive or you can Eject and the drive will eject automatically. Civileme
