It's part of the automounter. When the automounter sees removable media, it creates a mountpoint under /media based on (a) the filesystem label, (b) a vendor ID from the USB ID, or (c) a generic thing such as "cdrom". As far as associating what happens...that's covered by your desktop preferences. Gnome: Go to "System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media", then click on the "Multimedia" tab. You can specify what happens when various things are inserted. By default, audio CDs would be played by gnome-cd. If you want xmms, then change the command appropriately. KDE: Go to "Fedora Logo->Control Center->Sound & MultiMedia->Audio CDs" and check the box for "Specify CD Device:" and put in the device name for your CD player (it's probably already set). KDE defaults to playing through xmms (I believe--I don't use KDE often). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Heisenberg _may_ have slept here - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
