Does Supermount work with DVD-ROM's under Linux?  I installed an Acer IDE
DVD-ROM today and it made things go *extremely* slow until I commented out
the /etc/fstab entry for the device.  The GIMP hung and all kinds of other
unpleasant things happened.  Now I've got it so I have to manually mount
it and it seems to be ok.  Any idea why this might be?

Also, how do I get to view DVD movies under Linux?  I looked at the LiViD
page and it's talking about patching the kernel for DVD fs support and
whatnot, or else using a development kernel with it built in.  Any
suggestions on the best way to go about it?  I've always been a little
reluctant to mess with the kernel and I don't really like the idea of
patching it.  Is there a module or something I can just slap in there?

Any info would be appreciated.  I'd like to get this running under Linux
so I can show off to a few Windows users... =)
