Mandrake 9.1 Desktop Icon Shortcuts?


Mandrake 9.1.
I'm trying to create desktop icons for my cdrw & dvd drives.
I had no problem with the ones I did for my external Firewire & Usb drives.
CDRW: dev/scd0 /mnt/TDK
DVD: dev/scd1 /mnt/DVD

I can read these drives from the folders in Konqueror in the mnt directory.

When I try to create the icon shortcuts: the drop down box doesn't show the /mnt/TDK or /mnt/DVD options. I entered the following manually:
CDRW: /dev/scd0 (/mnt/TDK)
DVD: /dev/scd1 (/mnt/DVD)

When I try to access these shorcuts I get a mount error message: mount point doesn't exist.

What am I missing????

Below is my /etc/fstab file:
/dev/hdh1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdh8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/DVD supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sdb5 /mnt/FWHD ntfs user,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/TDK supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/USB ntfs user,iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/Win1 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hdf8 /mnt/Win2 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hde7 /mnt/Win3 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdh9 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdh6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdh7 /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdf7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdh5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdh11 swap swap defaults 0 0

Thank's.

You should create shortcuts pointing to directories in /mnt, not in /dev ('Device' should be set to /mnt/TDK).

Looking at my fstab file > do you see anything wrong?

I would think since I can access the drives in the /mnt directory that drives that those devices & folders should show up in the drop down dialog box when I'm selecting the device but they don't.

Must be missing something.

Supermount was the problem. I noticed on other Mandrake installs they had "none" also. Used Mandrake Control Center to make changes.
Below is my new /etc/fstab file: (Works as planned now)

/dev/hdh1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdh8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/scd1 /mnt/DVD iso9660 noauto,user,ro, 0 0
/dev/sdb5 /mnt/FWHD ntfs user,umask=0 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/TDK iso9660 noauto,user,rw, 00
/dev/sda5 /mnt/USB ntfs user,iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/Win1 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hdf8 /mnt/Win2 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hde7 /mnt/Win3 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdh9 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdh6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdh7 /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdf7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdh5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdh11 swap swap defaults 0 0

Thank's.
