You need to use the automounter for that.

1) Check if autofs is running by '/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs status'. If not, start it.

2) Add a line in your /etc/auto.master like so : /mnt /etc/auto.mnt --timeout=60

3) Create a file called /etc/auto.mnt and add a line like so : cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom

4) Reload the autofs config files with a '/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs' reload.

5) Put your CD into the drive and change directory to /mnt/cd. Voila !

6) Use 'eject cdrom' to automatically unmount and eject the cd.

Cheers,

Zainul.
