I am getting error message 'Could not enter /mnt/zip' (or any other

I don't know if you've gotten any help with this so far. I have another 200 or so messages from the Mandrake lists to read yet :^).


So in case you haven't, the problem that I see is the lack of "user" in the /etc/fstab. The following entries need to be and have been changed to allow for users to mount and unmount the components.

none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0

none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,user,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0

none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0

none /mnt/removable supermount dev=/dev/sda1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,user,codepage=850,kudzu,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

none /mnt/zip supermount dev=/dev/sda4,fs=ext2:vfat,--,user,kudzu,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0

none /mnt/zip2 supermount dev=/dev/sdb4,user,fs=ext2:vfat,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,kudzu 0 0

none /mnt/camera supermount dev=/dev/sdb1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,user,codepage=850,kudzu 0 0

The other entries either have "user" included already or don't need it for user access.
