Hmmm, I'll take your word for it. It went horribly wrong the couple of
times I tried it before (must have been bo), so that I never felt
tempted to use it again.
I'll give it a go next time I try an install. BTW, what's the relevance
in distinguishing between "cdrom" and "mountable", besides the FS type?
I'd suggest that both should mount the FS readonly...
