This inclusion makes your ide device into a "fake scsi-emulated" device

This script is correct Angus.
What you now have is automount(as against supermount) and if you right mouse click on your desktop - create new CD-rom device, you can add a desktop icon to give you easy gui access to the device.
I think your k3b entry is more like this ,
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0


If you want supermount, then change the fstab entry to,
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
you have to go to Control center to add a desktop icon.

***************************************
Thanks John, it seems like there is a bit of variation in my K3b entry from the one you included.
My K3b system device entry looks like this:


"/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/cd (0, 0, 0)

I only have one cd device, which is my burner, so would that account for the difference?
Things SEEM to be OK as far as what I've tried.


Thanks again.
Regards.
