Hi all
I agree with the need to introduce the suggested changes in /etc/fstab.
And if you plan to make the device mountable through kde's icons, I
enclose one of my kdlnk files, as an example (maybe not the best, but it
works). I use them so that normal users don't need to be familiar with the
sintax of the mount command.
Here's is my $HOME/Desktop/diskete.kdlnk file
=============================================
# KDE Config File
[KDE Desktop Entry]
UnmountIcon=3floppy_unmount.xpm
Comment[es]=Diskete MS-DOS
MountPoint=/diskete
Comment=MS-DOS floppy disk
Comment[pt_BR]=Dispositivo com Sistema de Arquivos
Icon=3floppy_mount.xpm
Dev=/dev/fd0
ReadOnly=0
FSType=Default
Type=FSDevice
