Why? You like doing things the hard way? It's kind of tedious, isn't it? I can see disallowing auto-run file execution--I do--but what's to be gained by having to go through the ritual "mount ..." incantion?
For one, I like being in control, I do not want my CDs spinning needlessly. And two, and this is the decisive reason, it was problematic, specially when trying to record a CD. You will see an article in the SuSE database (SDB) at their web page where they coment on this, recognise some people are having trouble with it, and explain how to dissable automount and go back to the old behaviour. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
