Do you have more than one disc to test with?

Which distribution of Fedora are you playing with?  Since FC4, the
CD-ROM has been mounted at:  /media/cdrom or /media/cdwriter if it's a
burner.  It could also be named dvdrom or dvdwriter if it's a DVD drive.

> how can I edit fstab ?

With a text editor, as the root user.

*  i have only one CD-ROM drive it is ASUS 52X read only.
*  i use FC5
*  mount /media/cdrom does not work as well it says can't find /media/cdrom in /etc/fstab
*  my question about editing fstab is that what should i add to fstab so that i can mount my cdrom?
