If you want to mount stuff as a user, you have to setup /etc/fstab. Add something like /dev/fd0 /floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 to it (make sure that the directories /floppy and /cdrom exist). Then as a user you can mount with `mount /floppy' or `mount /cdrom'.

Hi all I agree with the need to introduce the suggested changes in /etc/fstab. And if you plan to make the device mountable through kde's icons, I enclose one of my kdlnk files, as an example (maybe not the best, but it works). I use them so that normal users don't need to be familiar with the sintax of the mount command. Here's is my $HOME/Desktop/diskete.kdlnk file ============================================= # KDE Config File [KDE Desktop Entry] UnmountIcon=3floppy_unmount.xpm Comment[es]=Diskete MS-DOS MountPoint=/diskete Comment=MS-DOS floppy disk Comment[pt_BR]=Dispositivo com Sistema de Arquivos Icon=3floppy_mount.xpm Dev=/dev/fd0 ReadOnly=0 FSType=Default Type=FSDevice On Thu, 24 Dec 1998, Stefan Troeger wrote:

HI Jayel; /dev/mcd /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /adisk msdos rw,noauto,user 0 0 Look in your fstab file, it's in /etc. Your floppy and cdrom should look about like this. Make sure that it has "user" in it. This will allow you to mount it. Then as a "user" you can say for example "mount /fd0" to mount your floppy. If this does not work send me a copy of your fstab file and we'll work on it. Hope this helps!
