can someone clarify somthing for me with mounting floppy through normal user
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/271453
this is a link to a thread made recently that i found while googleing and i think that it has the answers that im looking for, i just need a basic walk through on how to do this, cuz honestly i think its a pain to have to log in as root everytime i want to access the floppy so if someone would plz explain how to make a normal user have permission to access it, that would be appreciated. (im using slackware 10.0, on a P3 533Mhz laptop, with 128MB of RAM) |
Just what it says - edit your /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users 0 0 |

Now I need clarification. :) What do you mean when you say you 'typed in /dev/fd0'? Sounds like you tried to execute the device file, which would get a 'permission denied' even as root.
If you've opened up /etc/fstab in a text editor and made those changes, you should be able to issue 'mount /mnt/floppy' and, as long as there's a floppy in there, you should be able to access it - 'ls /mnt/floppy' should show the contents. |
ok well im logged in as root, and i typed in "/etc/fstab" but it still says that access is denied, and what i wanna do is configure it so that i can allow other users to mount the floppy drive. i hope that cleared it up.
