Even then Usually the change needs to be in /etc/fstab not in KDE. Check the options in /etc/fstab and add user to the options and save the file as root if problematic. /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrw auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0 0 0 If any of these are currently mounted, unmount each one as root: umount /mnt/cdrom Now return to ordinary user and issue the mount command. > the system reports that the device is busy.

That can also happen if you are using a bash shell and either the root shell or a user shell is currently using a folder on the CD (the present working directory must be on a different filesystem for a filesystem to be unmounted.) Check with: $ pwd in each open shell and use cd ~ if required. - -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk http://www.dclug.org.uk http://www.wewantbroadband.co.uk/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+80aRiAEJSii8s+MRAtNTAJ9FEQnhSb1Nsrpo8IdiWLHCrOJkwACeNiWb Kpeb1COrm2YJ1y1v7WpvR80= =X0TH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
