Itis wrong to remove a CD while files on it are open, and CD drives have a software lock for a reason. You _should_ though be able to eject the disk from the desktop. Note that this last is a little problematic because Linux is a multiuser system and people use it that way. Who gets to control the CD drive? If you, then what happens if I'm using it too? -- Cheers John Summerfield tourist pics: http://environmental.disaster.cds.merseine.nu/
