Raven,

    Yes you can auto-mount by setting it up with amd (I think it stands
for auto mount device)  But I wouldn't do that to a cdrom or tape drive.
You should do what I do.  Create a script that mounts the cd and one that
mounts the tape.

like say..
vi mcdrom        //mcdrom means "mount cdrom"
{script start}
----------------------------------------------
#/sh/bin
#mounts cdrom
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
----------------------------------------------
script finish}
<shift ZZ>
chmod +x mcdrom

David

That will mount it fer ya. You can make one for each or just write it all
into one script where you just give it the info it needs to know what to
mount or what to unmount.
