No no no... The CD Player applet won't let you eject any CD's, whether
they're mounted or not.  You either have to use the CD Player applet's
eject button or remove the applet.

Automounted when you put it in, and an annoying icon popping up on your
desktop?  What distro are you using, Red Hat?  They're the only ones I know
that do that... ~,^

Nice thing about Mandrake, you don't NEED to mount anything.  Supermount
rocks!
