OK so this is how my fstab looks now,On Thu, 17 Jul 2003 17:28:03 +0000 John Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
About those # experiments, try changing the above 5 lines to read like this:

This will get rid of supermount, but I think your experimental entries are a little messed up. I also changed your burner to read only because it's not necessary for it to be rw. cdrecord can still burn.

Not only that but,
I cannot create a desktop Icon, because there are no dvd/writer entries in dropdown list in properties of any Icon you choose to try and make.
However,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cd /mnt/cdrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] cdrom]# la ./ doc/ install.htm live_update* README.txt ../ dosutils/ INSTALL.txt Mandrake/ RPM-GPG-KEYS autorun.inf images/ isolinux/ misc/ .rr_moved/ COPYING index.htm LICENSE.txt pkg-9.1-Bamboo-i586.idx VERSION [EMAIL PROTECTED] cdrom]#
so I can read media on the command line without prior mounting, good as far as it goes.
Also, I am not sure, because I haven't tested it yet, that, apps like xcdroast will not perform well on this version of supermount either, everything is mighty slow and laboured in loading and reading.
I din't need to change floppy enties as it's still the same automount.
I'm sure I tried you idea before as another experiment I picked up off the net somewhere. Not entirely sure though, since I cannot remember exactly what I've tried and not tried as I've done so many experiments to see what works .
Still glad to find someone suggesting ideas, so do keep suggesting.
John
