Thanks to the great work of our kernel developer Juan Quintela,
supermount, the "magic" filesystem allowing the smoothest possible
operation with floppies and CDROM's, has been rewritten. For the moment,
only the Read-Only part is ready for production; Read-Write support will
come soon when the few remaining bugs are bazooked. This was
particularly important, in order to bring supermount code to a
satisfactory level of compliance with the 2.4 kernel. And since Juan,
who's one of the core developers of the kernel, handled the task, we
can expect supermount to be integrated into Linus' branch at a point
(and IMHO that's a very fine contribution to the Linux kernel
"everyone" can benefit from).

Supermount has been missing since 2.4.6 kernels. I installed kernel
2.4.8-18mdk a few days ago, and supermount was back. By trial and error
I found that I had to edit fstab to read only for supermounted drives.
I find it also hard-locks the system if I use Konqueror to access a
supermounted drive, but not from console or XWC file manager. Then it
works fine, but just read only.
Beta3 is expected soon, I suspect supermount will be back in for
testing.
