You want a line like the one below in your /etc/fstab:

/dev/mcd        /cdrom          iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide

I admit shamefacedly that I have lifted this straight from my Debian
system because it is to late at night.

You want to replace the "mcd" bit with whatever driver you are using. The
bit you are most interested in is after the "iso9660" bit. That is how to
allow user mounts read-only.

Best wishes,

Helen
