Red Hat 8.0 KDE auto mounts my CDROM drives with the noauto option included in 
my fstab file each time I boot into the KDE graphical interface.

A bad side effect is that a Konqueror window opens for each of the mounted CDs 
(I have two) and creates a lot of window clutter that I have to clean-up by 
closing these unwanted Konqueror windows. 

I also have an icon set-up for each of the CDROMs on the KDE Desktop. If I 
right-click either icon => Properties (after booting into the KDE Session), I 
can see the unmount menu active meaning that it is mounted. 

I have also posted this problem at 
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...86&goto=newpost
and that post shows my entire fstab and what I have tried to do with it. That 
avenue of pursuit has not provided a solution.

If I remove the lines to mount the CDROMs from fstab and reboot, these lines 
are automatically added back in as follows:
/dev/cdrom   /mnt/cdrom   iso9660  noauto,owner,kudzu,ro  0 0
/dev/cdrom1  /mnt/cdrom1  iso9660  noauto,owner,kudzu,ro  0 0
and then a Konqueror comes up for each CDROM, both of which are mounted.

Steps to reproduce bug
1. reboot the computer (set to boot into KDE)

Actual Results:
KDE runs normally and a Konqueror opens for each of the two CDROMS.  Both 
CDROMs are mounted as witnessed by the contents of the Konqueror window which 
shows the contents of the CDROMs.

Expected Results:
The two Konqueror windows should not open and the CDROMs should not be 
mounted.  I should be able mount the CDROMs by right-clicking on the Desktop 
icons setup for each CDROM and clicking mount on the menu.

Additional Information:
This problem existed for the hda1 partition (C:\ of Win98SE) in my dual-boot 
installation until I added the noauto option to fstab.  That caused the hda1 to 
not mount as desired.
