Hi, Greg. All you need to do something like cd /mnt/cdrom in mandrake and it automatically mounts the drive, and when you leave the /mnt/cdrom Mandrake would automatically unmount it for you. It reads what file system is at that particular mount point from /etc/fstab, and then automatically does it for you when you switch to that mount point. Now, that I have experienced that with emacspeak on a Mandrake system it is hard to imagine a distro that wouldn't want that supermount support.
