work, at least with music anyway.  I put my CD in the

see what is in the drive and it stated that the drive is 
locked and I do not have access...umm I am root running in 
graphical mode I think I have all the access I shuold 
need.  I have tried mount /mnt/cdrom nothing happens and 
even umount /mnt/cdrom.  This is the output of the mount
