No need to edit fstab, you can do it from diskdrake (click on the partition, choose
mount point), except the only problem (bug?) is it will not mount it when you hit
mount (no error message, and it shows the unmount button). You will either have to
reboot or mount it manually (since it does write the fstab correctly). Also, it
would be a good idea for it to default to "ro" in the options. I have had an NTFS
partition be destroyed by (effectively) diskdrake.
