Never edit /etc/mtab; that is reserved for the mount system. As for making CR-ROMs writable, don't bother. For the purposes of mounting and /etc/fstab, they are read only. Mount will determine that a CD is read only and mount it RO. Software that writes to one writes to the raw device, bypassing the whole file system entirely. At that point, the device had better not be mounted. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
