hethoughttthave patched my kernel with superomount. I use it only for
CD-ROM.
this is the line from fstab
none /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0

But the behavior is not the way i want it
When i enter /mnt/cdrom supermount scans cdrom if there's a CD inside.
I thought that it should mount cdrom when I insert a CD and unmount it when
I eject it. Its annoying to wait every time i enter /mnt/cdrom

In Windows it works just the way i want it, why can't it work in Linux ?

? Patched the kernel with supermount? You mean you recompiled the kernel,
right? You've got to recompile.

Because this is not Windows. Would you also like viruses and spyware and
adware and trojan horses like Windows? Would you also like to pay $200 for
Windows and then another $200+ for Office?
