I have a little problem. My laptop's CD drive gave up the ghost and the 
distribution I use, SuSE 10.0, uses the install CDs to install some of the 
packages. My computer is old and I don't want to spend $100+ to buy an 
external drive. I'll replace the computer this fall.

So I downloaded the install DVD ISO image and if I mount that image, I can add 
that to the installation sources list in YaST and it works just fine. I know 
that if I make a script and put it in /etc/init.d I can get the ISO image 
mounted at every boot. What I want to do is be able to umount the image when 
I shut down the computer because I heard you can mess up things if you do not 
umount a mounted ISO image when you shut down. First, is that true? And 
secondly, where would I put a umount script to umount the image upon 
shutdown?
