If the icon is on your desktop, you should be able to access the DVD through it. I think that means that gnome recognized the disk. I've never seen a drive icon on the desktop and have it NOT appear in the mounted disks in mount or df.
Mark: What I see, when gnome-mount (?), or something else, is not working properly, is a generic icon for the DVD drive. If a DVD is mounted, properly, it will also show me the label for the DVD and work properly. So far, to get a DVD to mount properly in that drive, I need to do it manually. Always, if I put the CentOS install DVD and boot the box, it will mount properly. I believe this is a problem with a configuration file or permissions. Lanny

On my machine, if the removable media doesn't mount properly, I get no icon at all, an likewise if I mount the media manually. When I was using KDE under Suse, I saw icons for all the drives, IIRC, but not in Gnome under CentOS at least since 4.4.
Thanks.
