mounting disk

[iamchilled1]

I'm having a little trouble configuring my disks so I can mount them. I'm using mandrake 8.2 with KDE. I'm trying to add the disk Icons to the desktop, which is easy enough. but when I click on the Icon to mount the disks I get the following error message: mount: only root can mount /mnt/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom. what up with that? I've done this many times with earlier versions of mandrake. what am doing wrong?

I don't know how many times I have to say this: you don't need to mount.

supermount replaces manual mounting. Take a look at your /etc/fstab and find out. Put a disk in and go to file manager.

Gah! supermount :( Why have something mounted when you're not using it?...

Anyway, to mount as user you have to add "user" to the options section in /etc/fstab, for example

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto defaults,user # #

for a floppy. That should do the trick...hopefully :)
