hehe. It's relatively new (3 years?), now part of the FHS as an
advised but optional mount point. SuSE (partly) forced it in over
protest from some distros :-)
The definition is that removable media goes in /media and permanent
arb mounts go in /mnt. The reasoning is that /mnt was getting
cluttered.
Do I take it that you like to find your cdrom at /cdrom then? ;-)
