At least, it started out fine; I only listened to the first 15 - 30 seconds to make sure it sounded ok, and then assumed the rest was fine, since nothing else had even gotten that far.
And yeah, the errors start as soon as I put the CD in the drive. What automounting tool might I have in FVWM? I use a pretty basic config (which is why I like FVWM, not many frills to muck things up :-P). What KDE/Gnome/X stuff are you talking about? Unless they're auto-started by a service, I don't know of anything that'd be running like that, especially from a console. Jake Moe
