Hi, Greg. All you need to do something like cd /mnt/cdrom in mandrake and 
it automatically mounts the drive, and when you leave the /mnt/cdrom 
Mandrake  would automatically unmount it for you. 
It reads what file system is at that particular mount point from 
/etc/fstab, and then automatically does it for you when you switch to that 
mount point.
Now, that I have experienced that with emacspeak on a Mandrake system it 
is hard to imagine a distro that wouldn't want that supermount support.
