There is a program on http://freshmeat.net called autorun. I used it on my RH 7.1 system, and it seemed fine.

'iptables -L' gave me the mismatch with kernel version error, so I knew to get the latest for 2.4.16. 'sensors' quit working with 2.4.16,, but an upgrade fixed that. Difference might be that I used the ready made 2.4.16 kernel, but all the other ones were cooker src.rpms using rpm --rebuild. If your usin a vanilla source kernel, I have no idea if the supermount patch will work. I've had no problems with Mandrake kernels >= 2.4.13 and supermount. ~ $ locate supermount.o /lib/modules/2.4.13-2mdk/kernel/fs/supermount/supermount.o.gz /lib/modules/2.4.16.1mdk-1-1mdk/kernel/fs/supermount/supermount.o.gz > Secondly, with supermount -i enable and mount -a > > should I add them to rc.local??? No Frank, I just ran them initially to add 'supermount' to fstab. I believe I forgot to mention to 'umount' all your removable devices before doin 'mount -a' , mea culpa. > I really would love to get supermount working for cdrom and > floppy,, (so samba can share them effectively.) > > any help, much appreciated. As I alluded to in my earlier reply, I suspect different people are gonna experience different results/success/failure, since we're all runnin different hardware. FWIW, here' my fstab after 'supermount -i enable' for removable devices ~ $ less /etc/fstab none /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/hdc,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,ro,nosuid, nodev,codepage=850,exec 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,ro,nosuid, nodev,codepage=850,exec 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount auto,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850, noauto 0 0 -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay, USA
