Re: Supermount
AFAIK, the reason it was not included in other distributions
is that it had problems with umounting and some specific CD devices.
It's supposedly fixed now, but since RedHat (as an example
of a very much mainstream packager and distributer) is pushing a new
automounter of their own (daemon based, though - not kernel, magicdev),
I guess they'll wait till it hits the stable tree. SuSE
