Slackware 10.1 and SuperMount HOWTO


Yesterday I tried Linspire 5.0, and found the SuperMount very intuitive and less annoying. So, I decided to make Supermount work for Slackware 10.1 on my system.

Here's how we can implement supermount support in our Kernel in just 20 steps:

Requirements:
1. Kernel 2.4.29 (available in the Slackware 10.1 CD1 in slackware/k folder)
2. Kernel patch www . plumlocosoft . com/kernel/patches/2.4/2.4.29/2.4.29-lck1/patch-2.4.29-lck1.bz2


Installing the Patch:

3. bunzip2 patch-2.4.29-lck1.bz (where you've downloaded the patch)
4. cp patch-2.4.29-lck1 /usr/src/linux
5. cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.29
6. patch -p1 < patch-2.4.29-lck1 (make sure you are in /usr/src/linux-2.4.29 folder)
7. choose your 'yes' or 'no' when asked

Preparing Kernel Configuration:

8. make oldconfig (to get your old default slackware 10.1 kernel config)
9. make xconfig (or "make menuconfig" if your prefer)

10. in 'Filesystems' -> select "Supermount removable media support" as M (module)
11. Click on Main Menu
12. Click Save and Exit

Compiling the Kernel and kernel-modules:

13. make dep
14. make bzImage
15. make modules

Installing the Kernel and the Kernel-modules:

16. make install
17. make modules_install
(or u can see kernel compilation steps in other threads or articles)

18. edit your /etc/fstab file

Comment out the previous CDROM entry and add a new entry

#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom,--,ro,iocharset=iso88

19. Save fstab
20. reboot

Now you can insert or remove your CDs/DVDs as you would in Windows or other Desktop Linux OSes like Mandrake, Linspire, etc.,
