I'm afraid this may be a very ignorant question,
but how do I access the DVD drive on my desktop?

It is shown by lshal:
--------------------------
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B'
 block.storage_device
= '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B'  (string)
 info.product = 'DVD-ROM DRD-841B'  (string)
 info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B'
(string)

When I do lshal in my F8 box I get this (way down in the output):

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_SD_R1312'
access_control.file = '/dev/sr0'  (string)
block.device = '/dev/sr0'  (string)
linux.device_file = '/dev/sg0'  (string)

I'm just curious: do you get any of that?

Yes, I do get that:
--------------------------
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B'
  access_control.file = '/dev/sr0'  (string)
  access_control.grant_local_session = true  (bool)
  block.device = '/dev/sr0'  (string)
--------------------------

I did actually know /dev/cdrom was a link to /dev/sr0,
but I get the same result when trying to mount the latter:
--------------------------
[root@alfred tim]# mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
mount: No medium found
--------------------------

I guess there may be something wrong with the drive.
It's rather ancient.
I'll try it in another machine.
