Well you can supposedly turn the automount stuff off from the System | Preferences | Removable Drives and Media dialog. I've not messed with this, but perhaps it would be a good idea to explore it. If it works and turns off HAL-supported automounting then perhaps udev could be configured to automount a CD on /mnt/cdrom, which would help me, or turned off altogether to allow manual mounting, which would probably benefit your situation. -- Lindsay Haisley | "We are all broken | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | toasters, but we | available at 512-259-1190 | still manage to make |<http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | toast" | | (Cheryl Dehut) |
