Do they really need to mount floppies or do they simply need to be able to read, write, and format floppies? If mounting isn't really needed look at mtools is the ports/packages. All you'll have to do is set proper permissions on the floppy devices for the proper users to be able to use mtools. And you'll never have problems with a user removing a mounted floppy. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
