Thanks Harry,

I have no 'dvd' entry in /dev so I used 'mkdir dvd' but keep getting the 
message that
'mount point /dev/dvd does not exist'. Previously (following someone 
from deb-user) I did

rm -rf /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd

with no luck.

Similarly, I get

> Tux:~# mount /cdrw
> mount: mount point /cdrw does not exist


How does one create mount-points ?

Is there an automounting option for DVD's in gnome ?

[... and completely off-topic - how does one get a gmial account ?]
