that's the thing, I can, right now, mount cdrecorder
and floppy as user.
I cannot, any longer, mount usb disks as user. I
cannot edit fstab entriesf or it, because they don't
appear until I stick the usb device in a port. It's
not an fstab entry issue, because when it did work,
fstab was no different then.
