I've disabled supermount for my cd drive and so far, no problems. Kept
it for my floppy so far as that seems to work OK. The only answer I
could think of was a supermount problem, as I could access the cd drive
by mounting it elsewhere and not using suopermount.
The postfix thing is about my not setting up my aliases file yet, so I'm
not getting the information I want inmy headers yet. That's a job for
today. And I am using Mozilla with a direct connection to my ISP at the
moment because some unknown person has sent an attachment (Windows type)
that locks my mailbox at my ISP and prevents that mail being deleted.Has
anyone heard of MSOOBD.exe? My ISP uses Unix servers, but I had to
delete this mail myself in order to be able to get past it. Maybe in
Windows it just brought Norton's mail proxy server down?
