Shouldn't that read "in Device drop-down list - select /dev/blahblah"?

Supermount is FLAKY

FILE
/etc/fstab
/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   supermount   fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom   0 0
try
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso=9660
(or just iso9660 without the =)

/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2   supermount   fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2   0 0
try
/dev/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 iso=9660

/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy   supermount   fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0   0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,umask=0  0 0
none /proc proc defaults  0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

I also did the same for floppy

There is a known issue with CDRoms and burners, point your browser to:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/ then select Tutorial and follow
the link to 'getting a CD burner working' I did not yet succeed with the 
burner but I can now view the contents of  any cd in it.

Good luck

Check out the demos page below, if you haven't already. It gives step by step how to set up a cdrom and cdrw combination.

Subject: [newbie] Can't mount CDRom / CDWriter



Hi all people,


I have a CDROM and a CDWriter installed running Mandrake 7.2.  Using KDE I 
create an icon for CDROM with following steps;


right click on KDE desktop > Create New >  CDRom device > Device


in Device drop-down list - select  /mnt/cdrom
in Mount Point - select   /mnt/cdrom
File System Type : Supermount
then click OK


An CDRom icon then created on desktop.  I tried to mount the CDROM by :


right click on "CDROM Device" icon > select mount
It mounts the floppy (the floppy drive light glows) but can't mount the CDRom


(same happens to my CDWriter)


FILE


/etc/fstab


/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0


Kindly help.  Thanks in advance.
