27 Thanks! I've got a looot of reading to do . . . (although it's more
28 interesting to talk it over?)

30 So if a suitable umask sorts out the mounting of ntfs partitions, what's
31 the recommended umask and fstab entries for a dvdrw,cdrw and
32 dvdrom,cdrom?
33
34 I note that Peter R has rw on this ntfs - is this needed for captive to
35 work or what's the trick here?
