Hey, it has been a while now and I have not been able to mount my CDROM drive. I have mdk 7.2. I have one cdrom drive, it is recognized correctly in the hardware. It is IOMEGA Zip650 cd writer drive which is an internal IDE writer drive. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP, this is driving me nuts. I went to a Linux User Group install fest today, and they spent 6 hours trying to get it to work. They tried all kinds of stuff, even not using the supermount, and it still did not work. I am able to burn a CD just fine, I burned 2 CDs today, but I cannot mount the CDrom drive just to look at the contents of a CD. I still think in my mind that it has something to do with permissions and links to CDrom. Here is my fstab right now, of course the LUG tried all KINDS of config here, but since none of it worked I finally have it as this: > /dev/hdb5 / ext2 defaults 11 > /dev/hdb1 /boot ext 2 defaults 12 > none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 > /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount user, fs=ISO9660, dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 > /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount user, fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 > /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,unmask=0 0 0 > none /proc proc defaults 0 0 > /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 I have also gone to the Mandrake website and followed the instructions there for getting a CDburner to work. I can provide more info if necessary. So what now??? Could someone reply with a personal troubleshoot session on this?? PLEASE, this is the ONLY PROBLEM I have now, I did get my Samba working like a champ, and can see both my other windows boxes. IF i don't get this fixed I will have to GIVE UP on linux, since I will not be able to view a CDROM!!! I will not be able to update any rpms from the install CD!!! PLEASE this is a DESPERATE PLEA for help. Susan
