DAK,
  Seems that all this hype about "how dangerous it is to remove media
before umounting" is pure hogwash !! Once I mount, nothing I do will
make the device not busy. So I might as well just yank it out, because
I try "umount -f" to try to force it, but even that doesn't work.
Printtool doesn't work in RedHat, and magicfilter only works for Debian
for printers. Does anyone have an "exact" sequence for umounting a
cdrom, or a "somewhat precise" location for info to configure printers
on RedHat and Mandrake ? Also, for wvdial, put the line "Default Reply
= connect ppp" for UAA dialups in wvdial.conf.
Off to the web....
Johnny
