What system?
On Linux,
1. give yourself sufficient permissions on the /cdrom directory (most
convenient is to include yourself in a a group, say "cdrom", and
then chgrp cdrom /cdrom)
2. in /etc/fstab, give "user" as one of the options, for example
here's my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hdc1 / ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 ro 0 2
/dev/hda4 /var/tmp/amanda ext2 defaults 0 2
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro,nodev,nosuid 0 0
An alternative way which I went for a while just because it was cool
is to use the automounter. Right now I am in my "simplicity" period,
so I don't do that anymore. If you're interested google for "Linux
autofs".
