Yes, but mount needs root rights, and I would better not add such a
requiry for using debian-cd... is there no other way to get this
information ? Is there no way to get the device that has been used
to boot ? Or can't we just automatically detect CD roms and look if there's a
.disk/info file in it ?
Why wouldn't you put /cdrom_image by default in all 2.88 Mb image that are
only used for CDs AFAIK ?
