Yes. If you look at /etc/fstab you'll see the entries for the other
file systems. Add a line for the CD that looks something like this:
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
The /dev/cdrom identifies the device.
/media/cdrom identifies the mount point (the media/ is SuSE, yours is
probably different. Some distributions make a /cdrom just off of the
root, while others use /mnt/cdrom)
Iso9660 identifies the file system used on the device. "auto" will work
here too.
Options:
ro = read only
noauto = not automatically mounted (good for removables like a
CD)
user = non-root users can mount & unmount the device (handy)
exec = you can execute programs on this file system. Handy for
installation CDs such as OpenOffice. (Note that user implies noexec, so
if you leave this out you can't execute files on the CD)
Backup flags: The 0 0 control backups when you're using dump. Just
make sure they're there.
HTH
