GUI FS mounting tool. It runs in the panel. Simply right click on the

Hi
If I do what you say I get an error message on boot up, and also if I try

Okay, you probably have to take it out of /etc/mtab too then. (But I am
not 100% certain if that is the solution. It won't break anything

I have the same problem and fortunately I discovered the solution in the
mandrake page;
Hallo again!
Maybe the /var/log/boot.log helps??
Here it is:
Oct3 19:02:55 QuiniPC mandrake_everytime: Disabling Supermount
succeeded
And the system changes "supermount" in /etc/fstab for "iso9660" or "vfat"
(CDs/floppy/zip)...
