Why can I not > swich the CD while mounted? How can I make it so I don't need to unmount it? Basically, you can't. Unix doesn't like having filesystems taken away from it without being told first; you'll notice that you can't easily unmount the cdrom if any applications' working directory is on the disk either. I'd be inclined to write a small alias that unmounted and ejected the disk; this would put the two tasks together and remove your severe agitation. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
