You can't enable things which are not there. A read-only device will stay=20 read-only no matter what you put in fstab. > well, if you mount a burnt blank, it has to be read only.

If you use iso9660, you hav= e=20 to create an image which is burnt to the disc unmounted. However, if you use UDF on RW media (CD or DVD), you create a device mappin= g=20 via pktcdvd.ko and pktsetup and mount the disc just like anything else. Bye...
