Alan,
Supermount works. Unfortunately, the install routine on 7.0 while it properly
sets up the supermount lines in /etc/fstab does not necessarily set up
/dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc or /dev/cdrom2 -> /dev/sdc or something similar
depending on your hardware configuration. As a result, supermount doesn't
appear to work because not all path pointers are in place.
The general "cure" is
ln -fs /dev/hdx /dev/cdrom
and similar for /dev/cdrom2
The idea is essentially simple -- mount it empty and check it often...
Generally, one would not want to supermount a cdrw, because it has to be
unmounted to burn. Unfortunately some people try to supermount a cdrw and then
wonder why it will NOT burn.
That's my best guess. Look in the cooker list archives for additional detail.

P. S. I am using 7.0 and loving it, and so are some of my users, those not
engaged in a whispering campaign to bring back windows.
