Sometimes, I do think that Mandrake should dump supermount, though. Yes, it's easier to use, but it causes too many problems for too many people. I personally turn it off whenever I re-install, because it is incredibly unreliable. I wonder if there's a way to do the same thing in userspace? Maybe have a program that gets called whenever the CDROM is opened/closed? How does supermount actually work? Some of her other points are semi-valid. I do think that the menu could probably be made better. But then, it's not such a big problem as it is. The only other thing I can think of that *I* don't like 100% is the installer - you can sometimes really screw things up by going back via the icon button things, and there should be a retry button when a package fails to install. But she failed to highlight any of these problems or propose any constructive solutions. -- -- Igor
