[lug] adding supermount to Red Hat

[Hugh Brown]

I believe gnome (at least the default configuration) does it all for you if you use their gui tools for navigating
things (at least it does for the cdrom).  I tend to prefer the mount/umount
way of doing things, so I am not good resource.

FWIW,

Hugh
