[expert] making nautilus not popup when mounting a CD

2002-04-25 Thread Vincent Danen
I hate supermount, so I disable it. I don't know if this behaviour is related to it or not, but I get really aggravated with nautilus when it always opens up a new window whenever I mount a new CD. If I wanted to view the CD with nautilus, I'd open it myself. Is there any way to turn this "feat

[expert] msec vs. src.rpm

2002-04-25 Thread David Relson
Greetings, I've noticed that when I build from a src.rpm, there are a lot of files with user and group ids which are not valid for my system. For example, ntp-4.1.1-1mdk.src.rpm gives me files with user 427 and group 6011. While I don't really mind these files, msec _will_ complain and _that
