My solution was to move Windoze out of the /mnt directory. 'Course
I haven't had winsux installed for months ;> Anyhow, let's say your
Winblows is now in /mnt/win_c. As root create a /c directory,
'mkdir /c'. Then 'umount' your Windoze partition. Make a bakup copy
of /etc/fstab. Then on the line in fstab that contains /mnt/win_c,
delete mnt/win_ leaving just, /c Then run 'mount -a'. You're
Windoze partition is now mounted on /c. No need to go thru /mnt, and
havt'a wait for supermount to figure out you don't have any removable
media inserted, or to access it if you do.
I doubt your system need's Xkill'ing. It's probly just getting
hung on removable media for quite a while. If this is the case,
about your only choice is to (as root), 'supermount -i disable'
followed immediately with 'mount -a'. Then learn to use Kdiskfree to
mount/umount removable media. If you do this, there's no real need
to move winsux out of /mnt as I described above.
BTW, for the most part, I've rarely had any problems with
supermount. Other than it takin a long time to access removable
media. This is vastly improved in 9.1, CD access is almost
instantaneous on the CL, and much quicker even with Konqueror.
