have you ever installed FC5 before? ... or have you just switched from
windows? ... in other words .. are you new to FC5 ?
That's the first time I installed it. It find it strange because this
"just works" on other Fedora versions.

Is this a fresh install or an upgrade from previous versions? You can
try (if using gnome) to go to System>Preferences>"Removable Drives and
Media" and see what is set. In KDE, a window should nag you when you add
anything. Also make sure that there is no CDROM location set in the
fstab. I don't know why, but the automounting seems to not work in FC5
when something is there for the CDs.

It's a fresh install and those settings in Gnome are set to mount the CD
automatically. There is nothing for CD in /etc/fstab. /dev/cdrom and
/dev/dvd do point to the correct device files.
mounting of removeable hardware is handled by the gnome virtual stuff
now .. ie. hal, gnome-mount etc ..
in addition ... there are no static mount points for the drives .. they
are created dynamically when u insert a disc ... assuming all is working
well...
if that is not happening for you ... yet you can mount the drives
manually (which uses a different program and hardware model) ... it
could point to a firmware problem with the CD drives you have .... how
old and what model are your drives?
