That's a good point.

What exactly does make it _fail_?
AFAIK: "iso9660" could be "auto" as well (for those who burn ext2 CDs ;-)
"ro" is implied by the kernel
"noauto,user" is generally a bad idea for server systems
"unhide" =?? never used it.

Tetex is fairly complex, so I'm not very surprised. However this is not really
"fatal", so a manual upgrade at a later time is the way to go. Should be
documented.
Thanks again for the information,
