The problem is not only when logged in as root. I did that (su - and
then: mount /dev/cdrom /media) and I was able to install the Package I
wanted. My question remains, what configuration file do I need to
change, to get automount  to work correctly on that box? (The same DVD
was used to install CentOS 5.0 on my box and my daughters box). I use
GNOME on both boxes. Works perfectly on my box.   TIA, Lanny


put something like this on you /etc/fstab

[host ]# cat /etc/fstab | grep cdrom
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
