Supermount is a nice feature of Linux (not sure if it is mandrake specific) that lets you mount and unmount floppies, zips, cdroms and other removable media on the fly. The old fashioned way is to use mount and umount as root (or as privileged user). With supermount, when you access e.g. /mnt/cdrom, the system checks if the mount command has been done. If not, it is automatically mounted and made available. Paul
