Hi All I have been using GNU/Linux since RH 5.0, switched to SUSE 9.0, and have used all SUSE versions with KDE since. I have operated a small lawoffice with only free software for 3 years---but I'm still a newbie at administration. So please pardon me for bringing up the primitive subject of mounting floppies. I used to mount all my moveable filesystems from the command line, and it was obvious that an automount system would be needed before GNU/Linux could rule the desktop. Next I used the KDE kwikdisk tool in SUSE 9.0---a big step in the right direction. By the time I got to SUSE 10.1, full automount seemed to work out of the box. Now I'm migrating to 10.1, and it appears I must mount a floppy from the command line or use the kwikdisk tool again. I think I installed all the standard KDE stuff and the file autofs 4.1.4-23 is installed. My file /etc/fstab lists "auto" as the file system fd0, but has "noauto" as one of the options. I looked at the documentation on automount in the system help pages, but what I saw there was too technical for me----automounting is complicated. The SUSE manual that came with 10.1 says nothing about all this except to give a few hints about mounting from the command line. Is this the way to treat a newcomer to GNU/Linux? Now to my questions: Can anyone give us an explanation of the SUSE/KDE approach to automounting generally? Was there something in the installation about automount that I missed? Is there a simple explanation to my situation---like editing /etc/fstab to change "no auto" to "auto" ? Or should I just relax and continue to use the kwikdisk tool? Thanks! Hank McFadyen Dallas Texas
