Having spotted the news item on Texstar's page about the bug fix for LM8.1 which fixes the Supermount problem we have been so focussed on recently, I thought I would perform the update. (See here for instructions http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/2001/MDKA-2001-018.php3?dis=8.1 ) After installing the update I enabled supermount with supermount -i enable which has the effect of modifying the fstab file so the cdrom is now none /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/hdc,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,nosuid,nodev,codepage=850,exec 0 0 Now I am unable to access the CDRom as any user including root. I have tried adding my users to the cdrom group and assigning that group to the mount point. That did not work. The group kept changing back to root. I tried setting full permissions for all users. That did not work, as soon as a disc is inserted the permissions change back again. I tried setting gid=cdrom in fstab. That did not work, the cdrom would not mount. Now I am out of ideas. Has anyone managed to get it working with the new init scripts? Or do we have to wait for a kernel update before it will work? The irony is, I was not bothered about supermount before. Keeping the kwikdisk icon on the task bar was a neat way of mounting/unmounting with a quick mouse click. Just like a mackintosh. TIA Derek
