[olug] To re-install or NOT reinstall?

[Joe Gulizia]

I was already in the group in the cdrom file as
such...
cdrom:x:24:joe,hal
 but i couldn't add additional users....

I have one cd drive (DVD) working as desired BUT using
the same settings I can't get the CDRW to work.

Here's my current FSTAB
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>     
 <dump>  <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

/dev/hdd /hdd auto
user,noauto,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0
/dev/hdd /hdd auto
nouser,noauto,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0


I rmoved the USB drives for now AND I get two icons of
CD and DVD on my desktop one of the DVD ones work.

I'll send the other errors later.

Thank you

Joe
