I doubt supermount ever worked when installed by the mandrake CD. For what I'm about
to say, there should be a newer solution for
your problem. I just installed Mandrake without the supermount option. Then I
activated it later. Also, you should go to the MUO
area in mandrake's website. It should cover these issues. Check for a newer version
of supermount.
While you're there, get the newer version of NumLock because the one that came with
the CD doesn't work very well either.
