Make yourself some regular desktop icons for CD and floppy and click to mount, right-click to unmount or eject. We shipped with supermount disabled by default for a reason. Despite our rewrite, the thing doesn't wprk as it should with kernel 2.4 versions. This is a continuation of problems encountered in 8.0 only more severe.
