fstab user mount

The fstab man says that if I put user in the 4th field as a mount option any user can mount the specified device (i.e. cdrom). but when I do this I get "only root can do this". What am I missing here? How do I get this to work? Lance -- Lance Hoffmeyer

set_rtc_mmss

Hi, very recently, I started getting system messages such as "kernel: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 50 to 4". Where would one look to find the meaning of such a kernel error message (and, of course, if anyone knows the meaning of this right off, I'd love to hear it). Thanks, Paul. -- Paul Ye

RE: apt-build and Athlon question

It'll be the athlon thunderbird core i'm pretty sure. Grab the serial number of the CPU and surf on over to the amd website, you can track what model you have by serial number if memory serves me correct. I'd put money on it that it's a thunderbird though. Athlon 1ghz came in palamino and thund
