Disk setup
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
