blank DVDs are not mounted on FC6

[Globe Trotter]

Hi,

The fundamental problem when I put the DVD in is that none of these programs
work . They basically say won't work. I can't figure out what the message says,
but I think there is no substantive message beyond error, so there is some
problem. Hence I wonder what the problem is.

In the old days before Fedora dumped the reliable mount on /etc/fstab, I did
not have a problem. Btw, I am trying all this on  Dell Latitude C850.

In particular, this is what I get when i use xcdroast and press the button.
Please insert a blank CD-R in the drive. And nothing happens after that.

Any suggestions?

Best wishes,
Trotter
