Well I can't say that I'm too happy about the way that FC5 is handling 
removable devices. Each time I load a CDROM. or a DVDROM, I get boxes 
opening, winging about what do I want to do with it. Just tried a floppy, and 
I get absolutely nothing.

It was so nice when the removable drives were in /etc/fstab. You knew exactly 
where you were. Now. Goodness knows what is messing about with these 
removable devices.

Not happy about FC5 at all, and thats apart from the r128 driver not working 
for my Rage 128 graphics card, which works perfectly for FC1,2, and 3 on the 
same machine.
