On Friday I wrote this into my /etc/fstab file: /dev/cdrom /home/john/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0
It worked nicely, emboldened by this success, and with my over confidence fueled by prescription pain-killers, I extrapolated this from the above: /dev/fd0 /home/john/fd0 ext2 noauto,user,ro 1 1 (this latter 1 1 as access was denied otherwise), this succeeded in damaging the filesystem beyond what I could do to repair it. Is there an /etc/fstab entry which will enable me to access both the cd and the floppy as a user in KDE? Is this a question I need to ask on a specialist Slackware list?
Many thanks for any advice you may wish to give.
