gEDA-user: CD driver permissions so GEDA can install

[Schulmeyer, K]

Ok, there is a directory under root called media, but when there is no CD mounted the directory is empty. 
If I put a CD in the drive it gets automounted and I can look at the contents under /media/CDROM

Do this:

cd /
ls

Then look for a directory called /MEDIA or /media or something like
that.

Somewhere attached to your root directory is a directory onto which
you are supposed to mount dismountable media, like floppies and CDs.
It is typically named /media or /MEDIA or something like that.  (John's
suggest to look for /mnt refers to another common mount point.)

When you locate the the /media (or whatever) directory, cd into it and
do ls.  You should see the mount point for your CD ROM.  Then mount
the CD there and try the installer,
