Many drives are slow in coming up. Things get even worse if the medium is a CD-R. Some drives report ``Logical unit is in the process of becoming ready'', but only few. You often have to wait up to 5 seconds to get it ready. I think this is not worth the while, the drive will surely be ready before any attempt to mount it will happen. -- 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. ;-)
