On the second computer I had a 5 1/4 floppy and a ZIP drive installed when I installed v9.0; they were recognised correctly and entries written into fstab and correct icons placed on the Desktop.
I have since removed both of these bits of hardware - but the icons are still on the Desktop and fstab still contains the entries for them.
Question: is it only a matter of deleting the entries in fstab and
Yes.
Thanks to you and BandiPat for your responses. All now 'fixed' nicely. Actually, removing the entries in fstab (and rebooting) removes the icons on the Desktop [without having to manually deleting them] and, conversely, inserting entries into fstab creates icons on the Desktop.

I don't care much about such things as desktop icons...
I don't either. On the <shudder> OTHER unnamed OS I have installed I have a totally clean Desktop with all icons slotted away in separate folders (aptly titled like Utilities, Games, etc) and these appear on the Taskbar which I auto-hide. However, while I have tried, I cannot do same in Suse/KDE :-( . Perhaps when KDE matures a bit more. Cheers, -- Indecision is the key to flexibility.
