Strange ..without the -o rdonly flag it would not. That's exactly what's supposed to happen. Normally, when a system mounts a filesystem, it wants to mount it read/write so that it can update the "atime" stamp for any files that may be accessed. Obviously, you can't do this on a CD-ROM, so you need to explicitly tell the system to mount it read-only. You probably would have gotten more helpful (and less curt) answers if you had first gone to -questions with this. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
