Okay, I used Nautilus to look in the /dev directory. /dev/cdrom never 
worked so I tried the next one, /dev/cdrom-sr0 and it worked! My 
confusion was that the cdrom drive is not in fstab, and a new name is 
made up every time I put a cd in (I'm talking the linux host now) - 
/media/STARCRAFT for example. So, how does the cd get mounted if it's 
not in fstab?

I installed Starcraft and the online version is working - I don't know 
how /well/ yet - my son can try it after school. I phoned the Timmins EB 
store and they actually had a copy - so I'm gonna learn this thing and 
play against my son.

Thanks again, guys.
