Unlike a few that poo-poo the manual/CLI tests, when trying to debug hardware related issues, the CLI is your friend,
I was just reading through the thread, and I don't see mention of the GUI having been tried at all. The OP mentioned it was one of the things he didn't know how to do, and people started talking about mounting from the command line immediately. At no point that I could find did anyone ask what had been tried
I do believe that a MANUAL mount to test the physical hardware is instructive,
and I believe it is counter productive. It gives the wrong impression of the modern state of linux - reflected as well in the rant sent later by the OP, where he states that he has *only* received such replies from all lists he has tried. It is my opinion that beginners should be shown the GUI method first, the command line is for when they graduate from that level and have become better acquainted with their systems
that any reference to the /dev/fd0 in /fstab should NOT be present if the automounter is to have a chance to work correctly
Not only that, hal will completely ignore any drives which have entries in fstab Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
