Thanks Brian,
I'll give these a whirl before I reinstall
Mdk 6.1 it all worked "out of the box" in
6.1 and I'm more of a newbie and can't
deal with the "bleeding edge" thingy right
now in my learning days. I've got many
text on Linux and "supermount" nor the
CDROM issue is documented anywhere!
Thanks again!
Vern
