Anne,

Having fiddled with mtab my supermount works well. Whether that is mere
luck or otherwise I don't know. However, while fiddling I had a box pop
up referring to no entry in mtab.

You may notice the 'ro' read only and 'rw' read write in the cdrom lines
in mtab.

Prior to doing all of this, I did save the original files in case of
trouble and would advise others to do the same. 

With seasons greetings,

Malcolm Candlish.
