i currently use kde, but whenever i try to mount a cdrom or floppy under a normal user in kde it says 'only root can mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0'

what file permissions do i need to set where so i can mount the cdrom as any user?

Edit /etc/fstab and add the "user" option to the desired mountpoint.

For a list of options, "man mount".

in /etc/fstab add the user option, e.g:
Code:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         user,noauto,ro 0 0
