How to add a super user?

This is my fstab file:

Code:

/dev/hda10       swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/hda11       /                ext2        defaults         1   1
/dev/hda8        /boot            ext2        defaults         1   2
/dev/hda3        /home            ext2        defaults         1   2
/dev/hda9        /usr/local       ext2        defaults         1   2
/dev/hda6        /mnt/win-e       ntfs        defaults,iocharset=gb2312,umask=022 1 0
/dev/hda7        /mnt/win-f       ntfs        defaults,iocharset=gb2312,umask=022 1 0
/dev/cdrom       /mnt/cdrom       iso9660     noauto,user,ro,iocharset=gb2312  0   0
devpts           /dev/pts         devpts      gid=5,mode=620   0   0
proc             /proc            proc        defaults         0   0

In my new user account, I still can't use cdrom.

Add this to it...

Code:

/dev/fd0         /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,user                0   0

This assumes your floppy drive /dev/fd0, which it likely is, and that you want it mounted in /mnt/floppy. You'll need to make /mnt/floppy directory if it's not already there. A normal user should then be able to run either "mount /mnt/floppy" or "mount /dev/fd0" and mount the drive. You could also do a symlink to /dev/fd0 using a more familiar name like /dev/floppy if you wanted.

BTW, here's what my fstab has for the cdrom:

Code:

/dev/cdrom       /mnt/cdrom       iso9660     noauto,user,ro,unhide      0   0
