Anne i have a similar setup (on 8.2) in as far as i have
hdc SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-606F
hdd ACER 4X4X32 CD-RW
They both work well on supermount although i am carefull with konq when in
/mnt , if i try to eject konq closes the tray again. I back out to / before
changing media.
My /etc/lilo.conf (relevant line) -
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
My /etc/fstab (relevant lines) -
{
/mnt/dvd /mnt/dvd supermount
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
/mnt/cd-rw /mnt/cd-rw supermount
dev=/dev/scd1,fs=iso9660,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
}
Users in KDE have a relevant dvd or cd-rw icon that i set up. Then i deleted
the cdrom directories in /mnt and the cdrom icons in kde. I normally work
from IceWM unless i am showing off eye candy in KDE.
