You can do it by editing (as root) /etc/fstab. But why ? Until a few months ago supermount was a pain in the ass and we all had to disable it, meaning we had to mount everything manually, such as floppies, CD's, USB devices (cameras and such) and one thing and another. Those were the good old days. We were in control. Nowadays, it's different : supermount is an approximation to the dumbded-down attitude of a very inferior operating system that assumes everyone to be an idiot. The beauty of linux is, however : YOU are in control. You can choose to "mount" whatever filesystem to your hearts content. Be it a network, a CD, a floppy or whatever. Supermount is OK now. But if you want to be in control, having the conn, decide for yourself and feel good, disable it. Just my opinion.
