Hi all - I've built a live CDROM based off of the cdroot package and 4.x. It's designed to be popped into a machine, wipe the hard drive, install a custom image, and that's it. Everything works great with one exception. I would *love* to be able to have the CDROM automatically eject when it's finished (and/or shutdown). This way a user could power on a headless box, pop in the cd, reboot, let it's do it's thing and know it was done when the CDROM ejected. I know the drives can do it because I've seen some other CD's (most recent a seagate disk utility) do it. But the closest I can come is: cdcontrol -f acd0 eject and then I can press the eject button and it will eject. This is fine for me, but I don't want the people doing this to have to know to wait for the disk lights to stop. Any suggestions? Thanks! -philip
