Sarge and CD/DVD

[Krikket <krikket@gothpoodle.com>]

In exploring a bit further, I've found something that I'm wondering if it
qualifies as a bug, and needs to have a report filed...

To recap:  My system is a fresh-install of Debian (Sarge) using the
installer.  (Well, two systems actually.  But this description is valid
for both of them.)

I have a CD-ROM and a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive attached to this machine.
Using KDE, I've tweaked the settings (using control center) to show
unmounted CD-ROMs.  (The second machine has a CD-ROM only.)  From my
experience with other Linuxes, this should put a couple of icons on my
desktop, one for each CD/DVD drive.

For some reason, this isn't happening.

So I've done a little poking around, but I don't really know what to look
for.  No enties in fstab to relate to the CD/DVD drives though.

So I booted up Knoppix 3.3 thinking that it's based on Debian, so I can
probably just take what I find in fstab and copy it over...

And I did find two lines in /etc/fstab for the drives:

/dev/fd0   /mnt/auto/floppy auto   user,noauto,exec,umask=000    0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom  auto   user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/auto/cdrom1  auto   users,noauto,exec,ro 0 0

And while /mnt/auto is a valid directory, there are no subdirectories.

I don't know if creating those directories and then adding the lines to
fstab will be enough to get things working, or if I'm going to screw
things up on an unprecidented scale due to some unknown difference between
Sarge and the Knoppix varient.

Any thoughts/suggestions/comments?

Thanks in advance,
