Thnx for your reaction.
It is most certainly not done by me.
Your choice, but *you* chose linux :^)
As workaround it would go. But i think it is unacceptable for a user to have to 'make himself' member of cdrom usergroup, that is just stupid. The box has to useable in total, not these stupid tricks you have to pull, just to see a movie, or burn a cd or dvd: that sucks!
These kinda things realy have to be 'normal', which is: the user that has logged in, must be able to use his box, period. Root is used to maintain the pkgsystem, and alter stuf that normaly doesn't have to be altered.
To me that does not include watching a movie, or burn a cd.
All things are not as you suppose. Linux has always, iirc, come with minimal permissions as not everyone need all of the functions. And now there are these marvelous tools to assist you in making those things you deem necessary available for you, mainly yast2. AND, calling the world dark and condemming the archangels will not make it different.
