hi all:
I want it auto to mount cdrom and floppy when start Linux,what
should I do?
when I use Vi edit a file,and use :w to write,it tell me that
file is readonly,so I want to change file attributes,but I not clearly
how to do it,anyone can help me?
Then i suggest you do it as root.
Open /etc/fstab add the following or edit what is already there.
/dev/fd0 /floppy msdos user,defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 user,defaults 0 0
The above are "examples" and allow a "user" to mount the devices,
+ they are my device names your may differ.
The cdrom can also be loaded by the boot process with some distro's
checkk out your startup rc scripts.
Mounting them at bootime is NOTsuch a good idea as there must be a
cdrom in the device and a floppy in the device, now whats gonna happen
if you powerup your machine with a floppy in it, in most cases it
wount boot unless you change you bios to ignore drive A: another
_bad_ idea.
