Any pointers as > to how to do this? mount -t cd9660 /dev/worm0 /cdrom The code in 2.2-stable still suffers from a problem with the newer drives (CDD2660, HP6020i) where you gotta reload the medium after unmounting, before you can do anything again with the drive. Jean- Marc recently fixed this in -current. At least the removal of the scsi_stop_unit() calls should migrate to 2.2-stable. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
