[techtalk] Redhat 6.1 - cdrom behaviour
Hi All, I was looking today for about 2 hours on how to disable the automount "feature" in RH6.1. It appears that every time a CD is loaded the filemanager pops up showing the contents of the CD. This is not what I would like to see happen. I would like to manually mount the CD when required. Is there a config file to modify that will disable this? I have had no luck so far searching on my own and was hoping some here could shed some light on this.

Vinnie: > I prefer the donation route because > > a. no media = nothing to throw away :) (hey, reduce comes before recycle > and reuse :) ) Yup, agree with you :) On the other hand, a CD can be a nice gift to a local school, parents, sisters, friends or other that may need an OS on a CD (i.e. don't have "real" network), and a set of printed documentation can do it's job in a library, school or among the folks taht get the CDs. But don't order a CD unless you need it or can make proper use of it (the bunch of M$-CDs in Brazilian, Italian and whatever languages they were made nice plates for bottles and cups, btw... That's also kind of reuse ;)) > b. no money wastage in packaging/shipping/marketing/media Unfortunately some companies don't give money for charity (including Freenix projects), while buying software and licenses is ok...

Supermount is an add on to the kernel. If you don't want the device to use supermount remove the option in your /etc/fstab file.

[techtalk] SupppperrrDissskkk
Hi all, First let me say that I've checked 4 or 5 web sites (linuxhardware, newbie, question, /., etc..) before posting this question to y'all. After installing Red Hat 6.2 on my Compaq Presario 5240 this weekend, I noticed that I had a problem with my SuperDisk. I did find some useful info at the hardware web site. It seems that SuperDisk is read as a hard drive and not a floppy drive. The rest of the post concerned booting from the SuperDisk. Anyway, does anyone know how to install the SuperDisk properly so Linux recognizes the SuperDisk as a fd? I have been reading a lot, both online and books, and am wondering if I should check the dev and reassign the SuperDisk as an fd? I'm so new that I'm not actually sure what to do. It would be nice to use my fd. : ) Thanks for any help that you gals/guys can provide. Jere ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
[techtalk] can linux on x86 mount HFS?
Kind Folks: I recently installed Red Hat 6.2 on my boyfriend's server, and we just put a new drive in my linuxPPC iMac. There's a HFS partition full of good things i'd like that's on my old hard drive. The solution that first sprang to our minds was to put both my drives in his server and copy everything over. The FAQ at linuxdoc.org says linux can only do HFS with a set of utilities, though my iMac can mount HFS in linux without jumping through hoops. I guess the other obvious solution is to make FTP work on his server, but I'm wunnering if HFS in linux is only on PPC? Anybody? Should I take this to the lPPC list instead?

The HFS code is included in the kernel now, on a Redhat 6.2 it is available as a module. Just 'mount -t hfs /dev/... ...' Beware that HFS+ partitions (newer MacOS versions?) are _not_ supported yet. It works on x86 PCs, I do it from time to time to retrieve info from some old Mac Zip disks. olive -- "Je vous donne donc rendez-vous a tous pour cet apres-midi afin de tirer tous les benefices des echanges que nous aurons dans la perpective des evolutions prochaines." ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
