OK. Thanks 2R. I followed the instructions read the man for the fstab file
(I never knew about that one.... Mandrake hides it from you via their GUI
stuff) and both the CD and the floppy work. I assume that the methodology
is that you have to load the media and then mount, and later umount to
unload the media. How is Mandrake able to do this as it's done in Windows
without the mounting and umounting? Is there a similar methodology
available for Slackware? Just curious. Not a big deal as I don't use either
media all that much.
