In my /etc/fstab, I have... /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0 /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd auto noauto,users,ro 0 0 ...to handle the 2 devices on my system. The corresponding lines will probably be different on your system. The advantage is that I can mount and umount as a regular user. BTW, I run ICEWM. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
