Consult man 5 fstab. It shows the meaning of the last columns. Among others the entries control automatic mount. > 2 questions: > > 1. Is there a way to have a CD automatically mounted, e.g. listed > in /etc/fstab, but yet not kill a boot if no CD is present? > Is 2.2.2 behavior different from 2.1.0? As far as I remember not. > > 2. In RELNOTES.TXT, something was said about the wcd driver being > of alpha quality. Is it feeling better yet? Yes. Much improvement has taken place. > > And hay, I REALLY admire the installation software! Where can I > read about it? /usr/src/release if you have the source installed.x.
