Auto detect CD/USB

[Daryl Sayers]

I am attempting to remove the functionality of the window poping up each time
I insert a CD into my server. As my server is servicing up to 10 X-Terminals
this window pops up on all 10 user screens. This of course is unacceptable.
My problem is that I was originally going to remove udev. When I disable
it from loading at boot, it stops my networking as udev seems to be what
starts up the network interface. My question is:

As I dont use or need USB/CD auto detection what is the best way to disable
it. Should I be trying to turn it off at the kernel level (how) or should
I be turning it off at the application layer (how). I did try and install
devfsd but could not get it operate correctly.
