[Linux-users] User-mountable cdrom drives in 201

Actually, we had set the machines up so that users should be able to 
mount cdrom drives, but apparently a driver was loaded which made 
mounting cdroms at all impossible. This should be fixed now, and you 
should be able to just 'mount /cdrom' and have it accessible to you. 
Just remember to unmount/eject it when you're done.
