is possible in GNOME 2.30/2.32 (on actual F13/F14) for some users
mount
CD/DVD media not to "/media/VolName/", but to fixed mountpoint - e.g. media pushed to /dev/sr0 mount to /media/cd0 or to ~/Desktop/CD0
e.t.c.?
Or mount as currently GNOME does, but in adition automatically create fixed symlink to created mountpoint (and remove it after is media
unmounted].
This used to be possible with the gnome-mount command, which could mount a device from the commandline, or change the defaults, like setting a fixed mountpoint under /media. The program seems to be missing from current Fedora releases. The closest thing I could find to a replacement is pmount ('yum install pmount' will get it for you).
Now I think you'll need to know the device name in order to mount it; how I use it is: pmount /dev/sdb1 which mounts my usb disk as /media/sdb1 . The man page will probably give you the information you need to make it do what you need it to do.

I think this is been replaced (or renamed?) to gvfs-mount.

It seems as gnome-mount was last time there in Fedora 11, i do not remember his options and facilities. But gvfs-mount appears as command-line only applicatition without any possible settings, and with no abilities to automount inserted media.

gnome-mount is not present in Fedora 13 nor Fedora 14.
I looked at pmount - but seems it does not mount media automatically. Thus
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cd0 auto defaults,users 0 0
fstab entry will do same effect (pmount has some policy beyond fstab/mount method, though).
