[TriLUG] unmounting cdrom

[John J. Cruz]

I have had this problem in the past and present.  My solution has been
to select a directory other then the one asociated with the CDROM. It
seems that as long as a directory is associated with the CDROM it
(kernel?) things that the CDROM is in used (my conjecture).
