Greetings All,

I've got to send out a coupla "THANK YOU!!!" shouts.....

First one is to Russ Johnson....Armed with your advice I opened up a terminal 
window, did an su, typed in my password and mount /mnt/cdrom and VOILA!!!  
I'm looking at the pictures I've burned onto my CDs!!!!!

Second one goes out to Bob Miller for clueing me in about mtab and fstab.  
Funny thing, in my fstab....

/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrecorder auto ro 0 0
/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrecorder1 auto ro,noauto,user,exec 
0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount 
dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0 
0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount 
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 
0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/removable auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

it's saying that my CDRom is set up for supermount but when I try to look at 
/mnt/cdrom I get zero, zip, nada, nothing!  Something new for me to 
explore....

Oh well, if it was easy it would be Windo$e!

Again Mucho Thanks for not forgetting your roots......
