Lucid Lynx is great but is has some small problem like CD-ROM not mount automatically. However like all other simple problems, this can also be solved easily. Each time you insert CD-ROM, you can type in the following in Terminal and CD-ROM will be mounted.

sudo mkdir /media/cdrom; sudo mount /dev/cdrom/ /media/cdrom/

If this works, you may want to mount the CD-ROM automatically. You can do this by setting up your computer try to mount CD-ROM drive every minute. This can be done by:

sudo crontab -e

If it is the first time you are launching the command, it will ask you to choose editor, choose nano. Now enter the following line in the editor:

* * * * * mkdir /media/cdrom; mount /dev/cdrom/ /media/cdrom/

Then press “Ctrl+O” and press “Enter” to save and then “Ctrl+X” to close.

Now when you enter CD-ROM, just wait a while and the CD-ROM will be automatically mounted within one minute.
