no automounting in kde environment in fedora 8

av.dubey · 07-03-2008, 10:51 AM

hi i want to ask that i have read everywhere that kde is new desktop environment for linux..it is newer than gnome ..but still it doesnt have automounting option just lke in gnome...
like in gnome an icon comes as Computer..with which we are able to go inside all the drives and partitions of widows too..

i was not able to find this option in kde...is it there or kde lacks this thing..

In the menu is a option called computer clicking on one off the storage media it ask for root password and then you can access the storage media.

OR did you mean something else ?

Well maybe reading in the release notes , will help you how to decide
Most ditros give the option to upgrade.
AS I do not like to upgrade , I always do a fresh install and keep the old version for a sometime, until I am satisfy with the
new one.

all the best

i think in KDE if you use Konqueror, you can do this. but yes, i think there is no automounting!

Well if you go for a clean install , you have to reinstall every thing
As far as possible I use ADD/Remove Software
But if you go for a upgrade only chances will be reinstalled

Sounds like a corrupted DVD image.
Did you do a media check on the downloaded DVD ?
Also, you could try and see what sysimage.cfg contains and try to fix it somehow.
I suggest Ubuntu if you're new to Linux and compiling stuff and installing it after (apt is superior compared to yum from my point of view).
