Color me old-fashioned, but the new SL5 behavior of mounting a CDROM
in /media using the CD's volume name is annoying (and hard to write
scripts for).  For example,  if the CD is named "New Volume", it
mounts as "/media/New Volume" (a filename including a space).  This
could be especially nasty if two CDROMs or two USB keys have the
same volume name.

Is there something I can tweak so that the CD on /dev/cdrom always
mounts as /media/cdrom or /mnt/cdrom ?  I imagine this has to do
with autofs, but the documentation on that is sparse.

Keith
