this is an example of /etc/fstab: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hdc1 / ext2 defaults 0 1 /dev/hdc3 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdc2 /usr2 ext2 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /dosc vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 /dosd vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660 defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto,user 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 where usr2, /dosc and /dosd are mounted at startup, while /cdrom , /floppy and /mnt/floppy is mounted as user whith simply mount /cdrom. I hope that this is satisfactory. Sorry for my english. Antonio >ps- thanks to all who gave me the dpkg --force... help.
