that all looks good - I don't think it actually mounts until you tell it
to mount - i.e. I use KDE and KDE uses a widget called 'Device Notifier'
and it wouldn't mount the inserted CD until you do something like open
the disk with 'file manager' (Dolphin). I don't know the similar actions
from GNOME. You might find that the disk is actually available and
waiting for user instruction to actually 'mount' it.

Craig,
I wish giving a command were the case. In fact when I try to mount
using a konsole interface with a user different than root I get :
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cd
mount: only root can do that
If I watch what happens on a different fedora installation the mounting
directory is created and the lock files are created in the /media
directory. On this new install of F11 neither of those occur.
Since I can mount with the root account but am unable to mount with any
other user account do you think looking at mount's security is where I
should look. I turned off selinux and rebooted for grins, but that did
not make a difference either.
hal is recognizing the new CD for sure, but it just is not mounting it
when it is recognized.
Thank you again for your help if you have any other thoughts ......
Greg
