It work!

It keep the CDROM mounted... not really a problem (redoing a
"apt-cdrom add" it unmount the device).

If it unmount automatically the device it is possible to change the
CDROM before doing another call to "apt-cdrom" or other programs, but
under X and gmc there is the "eject" command easily available...

Some CDROM device need to wait a lot of second before try to mount itself,
and if they are not ready some commands fail and return to shell prompt.

Often is better to change the media before press "up arrow" and "enter" to
repeat last command, and often the "enter" key is pressed more than one time
if the user know that there is a "press any key to continue..."
