Hi,
ru sure /etc/fstab have an entries like these: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660,noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 and /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 and make sure these files (/dev/cdrom, /dev/fd0, /mnt/fd0,/mnt/cdrom)exists. if this is the case then moment you double click on the cdrom or floppy icon, they will get mounted automatically. regards, sudhir --- "D.Venkatasubramanian, Noida" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The drives are OK and work perfectly under Win98. > I forgot to get the /etc/fstab file.
