Arturo: Thanks for your quick help. That cleared up the Dvd and Cdrom problems. Now I have a problem with the floppy when trying to read a floppy I get the error: Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified. I hope you can help solve this my fstab for the floppy is:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 Hope this helps somewhat. Ralph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
