'Twas brillig, and Robert Fox at 16/02/12 09:20 did gyre and gimble:
+> Using latest Cauldron - I get this error when trying to mount a normal

+>

+
+KDE should create mountpoints as needed (and it shouldn't really use a
+fixed name "cdrom" here either).
+
+Are you somehow still using HAL? Can you try stopping hald and see if
+things flip over to using a proper system?
+
+Otherwise we'll have to put a hack in somewhere to create /media/cdrom
+directory to cope with this limitation.
