Oddly, it doesn't. I have a home video dvd that, when inserted, shows
up on my KDE desktop by its volume name, but it doesn't show up in
/media. The only thing in /media is the mount point directory
(cdrecorder) that I added a few days ago.

Thanks for your insight. I appreciate it. Register my vote for the
FC4 way of doing it. Wine and its ilk need a fixed mount point. The
new method of mounting by volname forces me to manually create a
doubly mounted volume in order to make Wine-based DVD tools work.
