That's fine but I had no CD drive until I changed fstab on both FC-5
computers here?
Obviously there's something going on that's not obvious to me ...

could you tell me more about what you "changed"!
Yes I added:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto defaults 0 0
and made a directory:
/media/cdrecorder
However this may not be the correct way to deal with the problem, it was
just my solution.
This is the whole point . You should not have to do that in FC5.
What function of CD access do you not see without that line in fstab?
I don't recall the precise sequence of events but no doubt I attempted
to "mount /dev/hdc" and the cd to "/media/cdrecorder" as I am accustomed
to doing since FC4 and trying to look at a directory listing ...
I had other odd things happen with this FC5 installation and thought it
was merely related to those peculiarities? In fact I did the
installation twice since it did not offer me a chance to select the
applications I wanted? I had installed FC5 from the same DVD on another
computer via my LAN connection while this one ran FC4 and that went as
expected, a normal install without problems.
