[Gllug] cd rom access

[Ian Norton]

hiya,

i have noticed the lines :-
 /dev/hdc  /mnt cdrom auto
 user, io charset=iso8859-15, codepage=850, umask=0,usrquota 0 0

having an fstab entry on more than one line is invalid,

replace it with this :-

 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,usrquota    0 0

that should do it :-)
