In the fstab section of the documentation, a note stating that the addition of the "user" flag after noauto,ro would allow normal users to mount/unmount the cdroms. e.g.: /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom0 iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 This will allow users to have the choice during installation, and stop frustrated Mandrake/Redhat users from thinking something is broken.
updated
No mention of the "user" flag in the installation manual. Only updated to include the /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 line. In the red section above the fstab, I think a mention of the "user" flag as allowing users to mount/unmount the drive would help out.
I've added a note to the fstab section. Thanks!
