I used to use symlinks for all kinds of solutions, I've been somewhat 
cured by the later versions of tar when dealing with BZIP2 files, it 
seems to just ignore symlinks, ah the joy and fun if I forget this 
little problem, and for the record, the howto's for newbies list 
/mnt/cdrom as the proper choice.  I realize that for most situations
a symlink works, but I'm just plain getting too frustrated to correct 
every little thing that goes wrong.  Don't even get me started on RPMs 
that write hither, thither and yon without regard to what exists.
