Re: [expert] Automatic mount of cdrom, zip etc.

Civilme, This is just for understanding not to complain. But what changed from 7.2 to 8.1 to break supermount. On my system 7.2 and 8.0 worked fine 8.1 stopped mounting. Just curious as to the change. I was using 2.4 kernel on 8.0 (and a home brew 2.4 on my 7.2 box in the office.)

[expert] modutils-2.4.10?

I updated to the latest modutils-2.4.12. However, I think it's causing me aggravation with ALSA 0.9.0beta10. A module which used to load now gives me "unresolved symbols" (specifically, the "snd-rawmidi" module). Unfortunately, I forgot to make a copy of modutils-2.4.10. Anybody have one? -- --
