I find that very odd. I wondered at first if it was because you were using 'auto' mounting, not supermount, as I do. But then I realised that my LS120 drive is set up to mount the way you do, and my mtab has the following line: /dev/sda /mnt/LS120 vfat rw,noexec,sync,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 which obviously is preparing it for mounting from the icon. I'm not sure just what is happening here. As I undertand it you can, from a desktop icon, mount and unmount cdrom and cd-rw without problems, yet mtab doesn't recognise their existance. Any help, anyone? Anne
