You can use the yast partitioner to add mount points for some media or partitions that the automatic install did not regognise. I did so with yast for my new 10.2 install I could not access my old SiSE 9.3 partition and had to add a mount point which I named /data1 with the proper options and now I can mount and access it in the controversed My Computer window. Here is what yast wrote in /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 /data1 reiserfs user,noauto,noacl 0 0 For other media you could enter something like : /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 Not sure, I am not an expert, but you could try It. Someone correct me if I am wrong Good luck. -- Paul Ollion Proud Linux user SuSE 10.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
