Description by fgerlits:
On the installed version of the Knoppix live CD, automounting of CDs does not work. I have not even been able to manually mount a CD.
There is a link /mnt/cdrom -> /mnt/auto/cdrom, but there is nothing at /mnt/auto/cdrom.
There is a link /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc, but when I try
# mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/auto/cdrom
(or any other directory), I get the message
mount: /dev/hdc is not a valid block device

actuall it will, just specify the device for cdrecord directly:
cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc <other paramters...>

- milestone changed from 1.1 to 1.0.x
Found a workaround: su to root, edit /etc/lilo.conf, and delete "hdc=scsi" (might as well delete all of them, from hda to hdh, if you have no SCSI devices). Re-install lilo with
(ignore irrelevant error messages) and reboot. CD writing will probably not work, but CD reading and automounting should.
