detect CD insertion

I don't know, but I'd like to mention sysfs vs udev. I found alot of things would not work with sysfs, which is part of the reason why I switched to udev. Other times, I might have some software configured for sysfs but it wouldn't work because I just switched to udev.

Worth checking out I suppose. If I'm off-the-wall then just ignore me.

ever tried AUTOFS?

I just enter the /mnt/cdrom directory and linux mounts the cdrom for me then I just hit the eject button on the cdrom and it unmounts it and ejects the cd

I can pretty much echo that. udev is married to the SuSE distro but I'm a Gentoo-lover right now so my sentiments may change in the future

Anyhoo I'm beginning to ramble...
