New 8.2 install with mostly default settings /etc/fstab says: (written by install) /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 File manager sees /media/dvd Desktop icon for DVD says under the properties section: Device: /dev/dvd {Drop down list shows: /dev/dvd (/media/dvd) } Mount point: /media/dvd Trying to mount as root gives: Error - KDesktop | could not mount device | the reported error was: MOUNT: special device /dev/dvd does not exist Trying to mount as user jejohan gives the same error Trying to mount as user dcjohan results in a mount but reads nothing Mounting as new cdrom-cdr mounts and reads but I've written nothing to /etc/fstab and install did not provide any such desktop icon, I added it. Anyone have any idea as to what is occurring here? dave -- David C. Johanson Linux Counter # 116410 Currently Powered by SuSE Linux 7.1
