Finding /media/cdrom equivalent

[Spud387]

I am trying to do the create DVD from CDs on for SUSE 10.0. It says pick the dir for the 5 cds. They suggest media/cdrom. I do not have this dir. All i have in media is:
bmp_audio_cd
dvdrecorder
xmms_audio_cd
I have a cd/dvd burner drive in my HP laptop.
When I insert a CD (for example CD 1 of suse 10.0) a new folder appears in media called SU10000_001. What would be my equivalent to media/cdrom/ as SUSE suggests is the most common?
Thanks

Did you check /media for directories?

[Spud387]

Yes and I posted the only other subdirectories under media.
bmp_audio_cd
dvdrecorder
xmms_audio_cd
and SU1000_001
when cd one of suse OSS is in the drive

Then just create it: # mkdir /media/cdrom

I do not believe that will work. I am using this guide:
http://www.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CD's
and I am running this from CD's instead of 5 ISOs (not enough room).
Teh guide says this:

CD's instead of ISO files
makeSUSEdvd -c CD's will be used instead of ISO's. You will be asked to enter the place where the CD's are mounted/ Standard is /media/cdrom.

I read this as meaning that /media/cdrom is a place where people normally mount there cdrom drives. You don't have this in /media so you should create it just like borromini said

su -
<your password>
mkdir /media/cdrom
exit

But when I load the CD it won't appear in that directory jsut because i made it. So when it asks for the dir of the CDs, the media/cdrom will not work because my CDs load as there own thin within my /media directory. I believe

[borromini]

You are right. But you have to add it to your /etc/fstab, and then when you mount cd's, it will be mounted there.

Ok thanx i'll try that.
