Somehow, your drive seems to think twice about whether it's actually got a medium or not.

Apparently, the drive finally makes up its mind if you ask it often enough (which incidentally happened to be an explicit call to mount_cd9660). -- 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. ;-)
