I didn't see a section in the handbook on setting up a new group to 
facilitate using and burning cds as a normal user.  Could there be one 
added to the handbook so everyone would be able too without google?

Here is what I do to use the cd as a non root user.

I added a group called cd_access that could access and mount drives(cd 
drives only I think) and made my self a group member. I set 
vfs.usermount=1 under sysctl.config.  I added

own    /dev/acd0    root:cd_access
perm    /dev/acd0    0770

to devfs.conf. 


I'm not on the list so cc me, but I will still try to check the archives 
for replies too.
