accessible any more)
with gnome-device-manager (under KDE) the mounting seemed to work fine, but
it did not unmount (I had to do it manually as root)
I am sure this will not happen. Itis wrong to remove a CD while files on it
are open, and CD drives have a software lock for a reason.
You _should_ though be able to eject the disk from the desktop.
Note that this last is a little problematic because Linux is a multiuser
system and people use it that way. Who gets to control the CD drive? If you,
then what happens if I'm using it too?
