Read write problem on CD-RW and floppy in FC4
 
Previously I used FC1, FC2 and the floppy and cd-rw read/write are OK!
But after installing FC4(clean install), it's so difficult to use floppy(only root can do).

As a root, I must type:
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
to access floppy or simply use mcopy, mdel!

For burning CD, I can only use K3B to create ISO image,
and then use X-CD-Roast to write the image to the CD-RW disk!

Because K3B only recognise the whole k3b_0.iso as a file and write to the disk without extracting it!
And X-CD-Roast only detected 'No CD loaded', not allowing me to read CD!

I'm already using root to do the above operations.

My /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/fd0  /media/floppy  auto  pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc  /media/cdrecorder  auto  pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
And added ide-scsi=/dev/hdc to /boot/grub/grub.conf:
Code:
title Fedora Core (2.6.12-1.1447_FC4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ ide-scsi=/dev/hdc selinux=0
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4.img
Is there any solution for these in FC4?
Many thanks!

Try to add this option in the fstab's floppy line:
umask=000

For K3b problem i strongly suggest you to use the latest version (get the sources, compile, blahblah...).
Lauching k3bsetup and use the user group to burn cd's is good too.
And don't forget to use the "burn image" fontion in order to burn .iso ;).
