ls -l /dev/hdc ls -l /dev/fd0 this will list the ownership of /dev/hdc; /dev/fd0 (assuming hdc is your cdrom, fd0 is your floppy). It should list something like brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2004-05-02 04:47 /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 2004-05-02 04:47 /dev/fd0 In your system, make sure that you now belong to the groups cdrom and floppy with the command adduser. Then add the corresponding entries in /etc/fstab -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
