Thanks a lot! So the only way to mount a drive under BSD is having root permissions? I actually had another problem under XFree. I used to work with a WindowMaker/GMC combination under Linux. I tried to install both under BSD as well but I couldn't get the CD icons on the desktop (even as root). Is this problem linked to that user permission thing as well? --- Otter <otterr@telocity.com> wrote: > if you need to use root permissions as a nomal user > *cough*mount*cough*, check out sudo. with out su'ing > to root, i think > that's the only way the cd is gonna get mounted by a > user. > -Otter > p.s. don't sweat it. we were all newbies once. just > learn it and don't > continue to be a newbie! > > }-----Original Message----- > }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On > Behalf Of > }Herbert Pirke > }Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 6:00 AM > }To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > }Subject: Mounting CD-Roms as a normal user > } > } > }Hi! > } > }This is probably a stupid question.
