But that's my point! I don't want to use "eject"; after all, the drive has an eject button which I'd like to use. It looks strange for a modern system to have to type "eject" in a terminal window to get the CD out ;-) Maybe I'm missing something very simple. Also, I'd like to avoid using the gnome-volume-manager, if there's a counterpart that's better integrated with KDE. Does such a thing exist? Thanks, Florian
