I don't *know*. Checking with a data disk, KDE Daemon comes up. Selecting Configure -> Advanced has these options: * Enable HAL backend * Enable CD polling * Enable medium application autostart after mount While the window is up, the disk is not mounted. If I "Open in New Window", according to mtab the disk is mounted: /dev/hda /media/cdrom iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,user=bdubbs 0 0 I do have an entry in fstab: /dev/hda /media/cdrom auto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0 If I select "Do nothing", the disk is not mounted. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
