Perhaps related to my issue posted to debian.maint.kde about a week ago? I happened upon a debian-installer bug report which points out that if one needs firmware from a stick during installation a line such as "/dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0" may be left behind in /etc/fstab by the installer. Commenting this out allows the expected writable kde mount point to be used. anxiousmac -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
