Actually setting fstab to auto is what fixes it for me none /mnt/floppy supermount auto,user, iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 I got that line from a Mandrake developers post on the cooker ML, you might wanna try it. There should be a comma after auto, BTW. Supermount is optional, but works flawlessly for me ;) -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay, USA
