My experience is that CD's automount on a default install. you can try 
this in a term window:

As root:
% mount /mnt/cdrom or
% mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
See what happens then. Based on what the output from these commands are, 
maybe we can help troubleshoot.

As far as rebooting/shutting down: again in a term:
% poweroff
to shut the machine down. and
% reboot
to restart the machine instead.

Things went relatively smooth after a couple of fits and starts, but
I've

booted into YDL and I'm looking over KDE (snappy interface, lots of OSX

similarities) but when I click on the cd icon I'm told that I can't
mount

the disc (the disc in question is the Tasty Morsels disc that came
with my

YDL package). I'm assuming that one treats the cd icon like the Mac
icon, or

is there something else I should do to "open" the contents of a cd? 
Oh, and

one more thing: how the heck does one restart or turn off one's
computer

within YDL?  Thanks in advance!
