Not exactly: urpmi examines if /mnt/cdrom needs to be mounted. In case of supermount, /mnt/cdrom is seens as always mounted. But there are performance issues when accessing many files on a supermounted cdrom so it's useful to umount it and mount it as a plain normal iso9660 filesystem. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
