I am using DSL 2.4. I remember in versions upto 1.5 and all, CDROM mounting is present along with file system mount tool itself. but now its missing. how to access my cdroms. also they are not automounted. help in this issue.I don't know why the cdrom would be available before but not now. Have you changed your drives? Did you install DSL in a different fashion? What type of cd drive(s) do you have? Are you runing DSL as a live CD? What messages, if any, do you get when you run the command mount /dev/cdrom or mount /dev/cdrom1 from a terminal (with a proper CD in the drive)?
CDrom drives are never automounted in DSL, and probably never will be. You could probably try installing a utility such as supermount that will monitor your drives and mount them when media is inserted. Still, if your drive cannot be manually mounted yet, I doubt it will work until you get that problem fixed.The mount for CD option is present with mount tool in Live CD but its not there in HD intalled DSL. How to activate/ solve this issue. This problem is also present in DSl 2.0The cdrom does not show up in the mount tool becuase the mount tool looks in the /etc/fstab file for lines containing mnt in them. To fix this for myself I added a comment to the end of lines in the fstab file which simply had #mnt at the end.
