Do you know how to use a text editor ?
how hard is it? if it's simply deleting some text and entering new text in it's place, i'm sure i can handle it, if i'm told where to do it, what i need to change and what it needs to be replaced with, i don't see a problem with me doing it. just go slow and step by step :)
thanks!

Essentially , if you want the nice easy gui way, just navigate to the file in question,via home to / and click on the desired directories to the file in question, then right mouse click the icon for that file , then "open with", and choose a text editor from the list, say kwrite , or whatever one takes your fancy. When your done, just save and exit.
so we already have hdc=ide-scsi in the append= line of /etc/lilo.conf, fine.
in /etc/fstab , check every char is identicle including spaces, to,
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,rw,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
note, all one line, that is essential. note I changed ro to rw means read/write. save and exit.
Are you quite sure the jumpers on the back of your writer/rom are set to master, and your device is on ide2 line.
If all this is done correctly then it ought to work.
I hope so, because if not I don't know what to do to make supermount work. After that we can try automount if you wish.
On my own machine supermount does not work well, in spite of being able to mount the device on the command line, all the apps that need to use it either don't work at all, or work exceedingly slow, and there is no possibility of a desktop Icon access to read discs. Your machine may be a more extreme example of mine for all that I know.
