Yeah, I thought that it was interesting that it made that change in the  
fstab as well - I've tried both with and without udf, and all it does is  
slightly alter the error message (isofs_fill_super instead of UDF-fs).

Hmm, that was actually one of the first things I checked when I first  
noticed the problem, but /dev/hdc is definitely root:cdrom, and I'm part  
of the cdrom group... Others may want to be wary of this if they're  
thinking of upgrading from Ubuntu Warty to Hoary.

Looks like more searching on google. In the meantime, I'm stuck playing  
cds on an old Mac Performa 5200CD - because as we all know, the only  
things that Apple products are good for are listening to music and storing  
data, right...? ;)


cheers,
ash.
