## Mount method

### Use automount (or supermount)

Check this if your system uses automount or supermount. This means GTKtalog won't try to call the mount and umount programs when scanning a CD.

To see if your system uses automount, refer to your linux distribution documentation. If unsure, do not check this option. .

If checked, the options 'Number of mount retries', 'Mount program' and 'Umount program' are greyed out.

### Number of mount retries

The mount program will be called x times before concluding that it cannot mount a CD. Choose a number between one and five.

### Mount program

Path to the mount program to use (usually "/bin/mount")

### Umount program

Path to the umount program to use (usually "/bin/umount")

## Cdrom options

### Mount point

Path to your CD mount point. Usually "/cdrom" (Debian GNU/Linux) or "/mnt/cdrom" (Mandrake GNU/Linux) but may also be somewhere else.

Before reading a CD, any program must mount it if the automount (or supermount) programs are not used. For more informations on the mount process, see the mount man page (issue a man mount command)

To know your CD mount point, check /cdrom, /mnt/cdrom, the /etc/fstab file ... or see your linux distribution documentation.

Also, make sure your CD drive is correctly installed. You might want to read the CDROM-HOWTO

### Eject Program

Path to a program that can eject the CD. Usually "/usr/bin/eject"

This program is called when a CD scan is finished only if the option 'Eject the CD after a fast scan' is checked. See the Section called General Options
