Go to /etc, edit the file fstab, and add the option `noauto' to the line that describes your cdrom, somewhat like /dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 This will avoid attempts to mount the CD at boot time. This option is also useful for floppy devices or any other removable media. HTH, Eric -- E.L.
