Or, an alternative solution might be to modify /etc/fstab and change the /cdrom mount to something similar to this: /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 2 NB: the only important bit above is the 'user' bit. Now, when you mount /cdrom, instead of doing so as root, run the mount command as 'user'. You'll be able to access and copy all the files off, hopefully with no problems. I've not looked at ubuntu/supermount, so can't advise about those. -- Miah Gregory _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
