	I think I have this page bookmarked; can't find it.  I'll try
	"rw" and "ro".   Can either you or David explain why I get a
	popup error: Can't mount volume. [?] When I clicked on the 
	Details, it says:

		mount_cd9660: /dev/acd1: Operation not permitted

	I click  on "System" (upper left) -> Preferences -> 
	"Removable Drives and Media Prederences"  and select every
	peermissions box.   Nothing.   (I'm using a data disk, not 
	audio.)    

	Ideas?
