Thanks Hola, Nick. I have installed kernel 2.4.16.11, and supermount works OK. Suerte Carlos Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Cdrom supermount
If you look at the list archives you will see this question comes up regularly. Supermount is broken in 8.1. It will work again in 8.2 Do not use it, Disable it with supermount -i disable Mount data CD's manually either by command line, by clicking on the CD icon, or by running kwikdisk Audio CD's Do NOT need mounting. If kscd is configured properly they will play when you insert them. derek On Monday 14 January 2002 10:14, Nick wrote: I think that this question was asked before, but I never saw much of an answer.

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com 8.1 was shipped with supermount disabled by default Its performance was unacceptable. 8.0 had it enabled, but it did not work well on most systems. (Now we have it back, thanks to Juan Quintela of kernel team). Update doesn't pick it up. as root run supermount -i disable then make sure that the /etc/fstab entry is correct because 8.1 doesn't use /dev/cdrom Sometimes you have to make /dev/cdrom for some older programs--use ln -s to do that. Now your desktop icons are probably wrong as well if you are running a desktopthat uses them. Right click and select Delete then right-click some blank area of the screen and create CDROM and Floppy icopns using the drop-down lists to select devices. Then it is click to mount, right click to unmount or eject. If you want the tangled mess of any user able to unmount, change the user in the /etc/fstab line to users, then regardless of who mounted it, anyone can unmount it.
