Hi bluknight43
Here goes for the Floppy problem..
Here is a copy of my /etc/fstab
Code:
LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/hda2 /mnt/Saves ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc2 /mnt/FedoraOld ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc3 /mnt/Windows vfat defaults 0 0
See the bold one, that is the line needed to make your Floppy mount up when you insert one. It is in a file located in /etc/fstab.
Now you must check to see if there is a directory in /mnt called floppy.
navigate to /mnt however you normaly do it (via computer is the graghical easy way)
If there is no file called /mnt/floppy, you must create one.
Open it in a terminal (click the redhat -- System Tools -- Terminal) with the command.
You will need to be root, or su from user account. see below if you dont know how.
Code:
#cd /mnt
#mkdir /mnt/floppy
#mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Open it in a terminal (click the redhat -- System Tools -- Terminal) with the command.
You will need to be root, or su from user account.
if root
If normal user
Code:
#su
then when prompted enter root password
then
#vi /etc/fstab
Dont type the # (hash) that is your prompt. If this makes little or no sence to you try
Code:
#man vi
#man fstab
#man mount
You may like another editor, gedit for example. vi is fine but a bit unusual, not difficult just different.
CD/RW issue
I would suggest using the search function on this site. This has probably been answered many times, and much better than I could answer it.
