I have a DVD-RAM drive. Do I need to have separate entries in my fstab f= or the following, or can I just have one. They all point to /dev/sro, but t= he file systems are different: cd-rom cd-rw or cd-r dvd-rom dvd-rw -r +rw +r dvd-ram
Also, do I need separate icons in kde for each of the above?
If you have SuSE 9.1 with subfs, then the answer is no. subfs will take care of the differences. Also, there aren't really that many variations wrt. to the filesystem types. You're really dealing with only three scenarios: 1. A completely unformatted DVD or CD writable or rewritable disc 2. A disc with ISO9660 filesystem 3. A disc with UDF filesystem For 1., there is no fs, so the only thing you could do is to prepare it for burning via an appropriate utility. For 2 and 3 subfs will mount it for you automatically upon disc insertion (as long as you have an entry in your fstab for subfs on that device). -Ti -- Ti Kan http://www.amb.org/ti Vorsprung durch Technik
