In /etc/auto.master, I put this: /media /etc/auto.misc --timeout=10 In /etc/auto.misc, I put this: cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom As root, I turned on autofs: # service autofs start And now anytime I need to use a CD, I put it in and I can browse its contents at /media/cd. When I'm done, I push the button on the CD drive and it pops out. I don't use KDE so I can't help you with having Konqueror close automatically at unmount time.
