Actually, I like the auto mounting, and have even installed the automounting software. But this is going a step further than just mounting -- it's starting software. It's that last step (starting of software) that I want to stop.
I suppose it may mean that I need to d/l and install another copy of the programs...

Actually that may mean that there is a setting in the KDE control center or YaST2 that you can change to stop the autoplaying of music cds or starting k3b for a blank cdr. There is no real need for these to be automounted anyway as KSCD will play an audio cd without mounting and k3b doesn't need a cdr mounted. ==============
Yeah, I've heard of that problem before. Although, when I was running a Windoze machine (and Nero software), I made 50+ CD's with that combination, with 0 coasters. So I know it doesn't *have* to be that way.
Still, I'll give XCDRoast a try and see what happens.
What I find really curious, is that it was working at first, and then stopped after 2 CDs, with the problem getting more severe the more CDs I attemped to copy. At least it never got around to trying to burn them, so I didn't create coasters in the process. (Although I did set the blanks aside, just in case I'm wrong about that...)

What you might not be aware of is that Nero was doing the same thing for safety purposes. You just didn't see it doing the copy to hard drive and write to cdr. As I mentioned, you can do it and XCDRoast will do it, so no, it doesn't have to be that way, but it's always iffy on IDE. SCSI drives are no problem, but few of us use SCSI cd drives these days. :o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.5.4 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
