stop cdrom from auto-mounting
Somebody loaded RH 7.3 for me on my PC & now I'm running through & configuring all my settings.

Question: Every time I insert a CD into the cdrom, it automatically mounts the cdrom if there's anything on the CD. How do I disable this? I don't want it to automount.

Thanks in advance!!

You can try killing the vold deamon.

Yes it is something to do with the vold deamon. But there is a file it calls and you can edit that file so it wont auto mount.

I can't remember teh file name though maybe someone else can help, or search google.
