I just followed http://www.daemonnews.org/200202/automounting.html to setup to allow
the rest of the family access to the cdrom and floppy without root access.

It works well. The only change I made was to create a group floppy which is the group
owner of the floppy directory i.e.

	echo >> /etc/group "floppy:*:4446:user1,user2,user3"
	chown floppy /mnt/floppy
	chmod g+w /mnt/floppy

so that users in the floppy group have write access.

I can't use the console trick as I run 4 X-servers on F6-F9 so everyone can keep thier
desktop without logging in and out.

Cheers, Roger
