>|--- I have been using Debian for about 2 months now after having used Mandrakelinux 10.1 for a much longer time. In Mandrake, the DVD/CD-writer will automount and auto-unmount whenever you insert or eject DVD/CD media. It has other issues, however. In Mandrake you probably have to disable fam so that it frees the CDROM drive. >|--- >|--- I like the way k3b works on the Debian side. Better than how it works on the Mandrake side. In Debian, however, I'm having a problem that I'm sure has a simple solution. I do not have automount enabled. I'm assuming it's something you do with /etc/fstab (?). So what I do is shell out, su, and 'mount -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom'. This works fine for reading a single CD or DVD. However, after I enter the command, it will not allow me to 'umount /dev/cdrom'. It keeps saying the device is busy. What do I need to do to get it to eject the media? How can I enable automounting the way it does it in Mdk? Or is it part of the same issue? >|--- >|--- TIA It might not be the best idea to have a CD auto mount? >>>>> Registered Linux User:- 329524 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In communities where men build ships for their own sons to fish or fight from, quality is never a problem. _________________________J.
