fedora list states to put "dev.cdrom.lock = 0" in /etc/sysctl.conf and reloading with sysctl -p <br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">this works for me, but i'm no expert and not sure if this affects the system in anyway.<br>
i've been able to open nautilus viewing contents of cdrom...and then
pressing the eject button on the cdrom and the files clear when
ejecting. from my standpoint....so far so good. anybody else care to
look and try? btw, i tried this on my hoary system, will try on breezy
later.<br>

<br>I hate to pour cold water on a good idea but have you seen the messes<br>discussed by other distros?:<br><a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-January/msg01327.html">https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-January/msg01327.html
</a><br>I reckon what you are talking about is doable but I wouldn't class it<br>as easy.<br><br>(Hanging out on all the other distro mailing lists is a great way of<br>watching different people discussing the same problem)
