Ahh, I never knew it was in the Computer folder, which I thought it was supposed to be on the desktop. Now, it's there in the Computer folder and I am able to mount it, so it works! When, I mounted it by either click right (menu) -> mount or double click, then a new CD icon will appear in the desktop just like if I mount it by the command line. But, one major problem is that I can't umount it because there's no option to do that but there has an eject option in the right click menu. The eject doesn't work, I get the error following: Failed to start command (Click on details) -> Failed to execute child process "eject" (No such file or directory) After I clicked 'OK' from the error msg, then it will umount or the mount died by itself. Weird. Khairil, thanks for input about Computer folder that got me check on the CD stuff and should help Joe more. :-) Cheers, Mezz > Apart for vfs syctl, in fstab, I had to fill in the full path to my user > mounted dir. > > /dev/da1s1 /home/kaeru/mnt/camera msdos rw,noauto 0 0 > > I can't however create any type of link to it on the desktop.
