Konqueror - even after you change the directory or view a web page or even close the tab (if using tabbed). Konqueror only lets go of the CD when that window is closed. 2. Bash - multiple terminals and su can cause no end of confusion. Bad su practice can lead to: $ user1 su # user2 $ su user1 $ BUT: if root or user2 have the current working directory as something below /mnt/cdrom, then you have a problem. Avoid nesting shells! (This is not, of course, the fault of bash - it's user error!) If in doubt, close all apps, start kwikdisk and see if that can unmount it. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
