Hello, Please pardon me if this is a dumb question but right now I'm tired and a little frustraited... I'm in the middle of learning what I can do with dvd::rip I'm reduced to empirical testing to find out which (if any) dvd archive choices other than vcd will work in the living rooms dvd/vcr. I find it frustrating when just inserting a cd in the drive sometimes auto launches konqueror ( I use mc for that ) Worse still just before supper I stuck a cd-rw in the drive and clicked on blank... Well I just came back with just enough time to burn one more output type variant and start a new transcode process before going to bed. only to find that the cd-rw didn't blank. Apparently because it's existing filesystem was detected and it was automatically mounted for me on /mnt/cdrom1 even though my fstab says noauto (do I so badly miss-remember the purpose of noauto?) <fstab included below> Now I wouldn't want to stop any auto-mounting that may occur when I implicitly call an application such as "<ALT>+<F2>ogle<ENTER>" But I wouldn't ever want such mounting to be triggered by closing the drive's disk tray... Would someone please tell me where this particular auto mounting feature is controlled? And which control setting can stop konqueror from auto-launching? And/or point my tired mind at the right docs... If it matters I'm using FC1/kde Thanks -- | --- --- | Joe (theWordy) Philbrook <o> <o> | J(tWdy)P ^ | <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>> /---\ < ARRRGH > | \___/ :r /etc/fstab LABEL=/1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc11 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/cdrom /dvd-rom udf,iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/cdwriter /cd-rw udf,iso9660 iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,user,nodev 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user,kudzu 0 0 /dev/hda1 /theWin98 vfat user,iochaeset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /flop-a vfat user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /flop-ext ext2 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda3 /theVoyage ext2 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda4 /theVoid ext2 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda5 /drv-e vfat user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda6 /the_root ext2 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc1 /drv-d msdos user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc3 /theQuest ext2 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc4 /theReaAbyss ext2 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc5 /theFudged ext2 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc6 /theHdc6tmp ext2 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc7 /theRoastit_hdc7 ext2 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc8 /the_j-home ext2 auto 0 0 /dev/hdc9 /theTMP ext2 user,noauto 0 0
