It's really just a matter of taste where you mount and unmount. If you're working on the desktop do it there and vice versa. Just notice that the console command for unmounting is umount.

Ok, I wanna go over tnhis before I say thanks for helping me and running away, I will say thanks now.

Thankyou

Ok, this is my new fstab

# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem  mountpoint  type  options  dump  pass
/dev/hdb1  /  ext3  defaults,errors=remount-ro  0  1

proc  /proc  proc  defaults  0  0
/dev/fd0  /floppy  vfat  defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0
usbdevfs  /proc/bus/usb  usbdevfs  defaults  0  0

# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdb2 none swap defaults 0 0

1.I have no DVD can I remove the line for it?
2.how can I have hda1 auto mount when the o/s boots or atleast when I get into KDE, like hdb2 does.
3. Thanks so much, I've learned alot while doing this.

1. Go ahead and remove it
2. Change it to: /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs auto,users,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0
3. You're welcome
I commented earlier out this line which you can remove as well:
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/auto/cdrom1 auto users,noauto,exec,ro 0 0
If you do want automount change it to: (and comment out the other sr1 with an # )
/dev/sr1 /mnt/auto/cdrom1 auto users,noauto,exec,ro 0 0
But as said, I don't like automounting for removable devices so I don't really know what makes it work.
