Hello, Is it possible for the windows boxes on our home LAN to mount and unmount the CD-Rom drive on our server......as in clicking a desktop icon? OR does it hurt to keep a CD mounted for extended periods? (as this would achieve the same thing, sort of ) I don't want to have to mount and unmount any CD's at the server, every time. The CD drive is accessable though Samba and Net Neighborhood. Oh, and yes, of course, the server is running SuSE. Hope I'm not overlooking the obvious ;-) ....Thanks, Tom
Yes, this is possible. Check out automount. There are a couple files you need to edit in /etc to get it working. It works like a charm (though it has been over a year since I got it running [6.4]). Try man automount.
Thanks, will do. Tom -- TRBishop tb64710@alltel.net SuSE 7.3 Pro
