How can I get it so that I can use it on my personal account? >Thanks > NOTE: the above fstab should be: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos rw,NOAUTO 0 0 sorry 'bout that Anyway, that's the one I'm still trying to figure out. Supposedly you can add "user" to your fstab entry (right by "noauto"). I even changed permissons on /dev/fd0 to 666. Nope, I still had to be root. If you do find out, or if anyone else out there knows, then please e-mail me also at kevin.weiss@mail.utexas.edu.
