I haven't had any of the problems, specially with MCC, that a few of
y'all have. Haven't seen complaints on the cooker list either ....
so I dunno. I regularly do a few edits to fstab (for windoze mount
points), so that's NBFD for me, but my floppy, cd drives worked just
fine with the default 9.0beta fstab lines.

....everything works fine here.
Tho I'm waitin on beta2 CD's in the mail, I've got beta1 fairly
current with cooker .... the new rpmdrake sux ;( Too much
functionality removed in order to dumb it down .. yuck. Believe after
a fresh install of beta2, I'll try'n move the 'old' rpmdrake back in.
