Not exactly. It prevents the system from attempting to automatically mount the device when it boots. Largely the same effect in your case, but completely different intent. noauto is there to prevent errors in the boot sequence because most people don't have a data CD in the drive 100% of the time. Feel free to remove it from your fstab if you know that you will never, ever boot your system without a CD loaded, but noauto is a good default for most of the world. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
