Somehow, your drive seems to think twice about whether it's actually got a medium or not. The way you invoke the mount command is irrelevant, but those messages are the indication of the evil that's going on. 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. ;-)
