Hi, Many thanks for trying to help me out!! I actually use fvwm, not gnome. What command line option could I use? Also, when I add the line to my fstab, how do I figure out what to put in? I know the lines to be put in, but how do I tell it that /media/cdrom has to correspond to such and such device? Previously, under FC4- it would come out with the installation, pretty much. Not particularly germane to the discussion, but I wonder why they got rid of it from the middle of FC4?
