When i insert a cd or dvd into my drives under suse 9.3 it will get mounted under media but with the volume name of the cd. Why is it not getting mounted under /media/cdrom? How do i get it to mount it under /media/cdrom?

You'll find all the info you need on this here: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/05/dkukawka_hal_mountpoints.html

The link contains the following information. While very good information, it is not intuitive at all. It looks for akin to (heaven forbid) a registry hack. Thanks for the info though... <snip> As root, create a file with a file name of your liking and the ending .fdi in in /usr/share/hal/fdi/95userpolicy/. Example: mountpoints.fdi Edit the file with an editor of your choice, e.g. for a CD-ROM drive: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <!-- optical drives --> <match key="block.device" string="/dev/hdc"> <match key="volume.is_disc" bool="true"> <merge key="volume.policy.should_mount" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point" type="string">cdrom</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> Adapt the following lines to your system values: <match key="block.device" string="/dev/hdc"> -> Replace /dev/hdc with the address of your CD-ROM drive. <merge key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point" type="string">cdrom</merge> -> Enter the mount point you desire. After customizing the file, execute the following command as root: rchal restart </snip> Somehow, mount and umount seem a lot simpler.......... -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
