Yes, but this isn't quite the whole story. Supermount-ng in
the latest kernels is a better solution than magicdev. Even the
Mandrake developers involved have said so on the cooker ML, an
alluded to the fact that making magicdev the default wasn't their
preference. So they suggested, and many cooker'rs have:
urpme magicdev
supermount -i enable
mount -a
A search of the cooker archive should clear it up. Most
cooker'rs like myself updated daily to 10.0+, an so never had
magicdev installed. So at best it's very much untested. Bugs have
been filed on it tho, search bugzilla. Most common bug was that
it wouldn't release the CD tray, and/or recognize when a media
was inserted.
