Try this.
1) as root: add the following line to the end of your /etc/sysctl.conf file
vfs.usermount=1
2) as root: Invite your user to the "operator" group
3) as root: chmod 660 /dev/acd0
4) as root: add this lines to the end of your /etc/devfs.conf file
own /dev/acd0 root:operator
perm/dev/acd0 0660
5) as root: edit your /etc/fstab to add a line like this:
/dev/acd0 /home/youruser/media cd9660 rw,noauto 0 0
6) as root: issue the following command:
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart
7) as user: create a "media" folder inside your "home folder" (the thing is
that users can only mount on folders they own ...)
When done .. give it a shot:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% pwd
/usr/home/gonzalo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% ls media/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 media/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% ls media/
4.3/ TRANS.TBL etc/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% cd media/4.3/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/media/4.3]% ls
TRANS.TBL i386/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/media/4.3]% cd i386/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/media/4.3/i386]% ls

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/media/4.3/i386]% cd ~
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% umount media/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% ls media/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]%
If it worked, feel free to create a "Create New/Link to Device/CD-ROM Device"
in your KDE desktop ... just make sure that in the "Device" tab entry, the
path points to /dev/acd0 (/home/youruser/media), and that the rw or ro values
are correlative to those in your /etc/fstab entry.
Hope it works your you. That's the way it works for me :)
