Mount points for CD-ROM

[Scott Karlin]

I was surprised that I had to create mount points and use an explicit
mount to read a CD-ROM:

# mkdir /media/cdrom
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

Is this typical?  Is there some RPM that creates the mount points?

I don't mind becoming root to do the mount -- I was just surprised
the mount points weren't already there.
