Re: [LI] Problem unmounting CDROM from KDE desktop!



well, i don't know what the gurus have to say about this but, this worked
for me.
add an identical line (except for /dev/cdrom, instead use /dev/hdd in your
case) like this:

/dev/hdd    /mnt/cdrom    iso9660   users, noauto, ro     0  0

to your fstab.

regards,
rahul.
