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
