So, it would be "/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,umask=0		0       0"?

Quote of the Week: "The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. Pull down 
thy vanity, it is not man... Made courage, or made order, or made 
grace,... Pull down thy vanity, I say pull down. Learn of the green 
world what can be thy place... In scaled invention or true artistry,... 
Pull down thy vanity,... Paquin pull down! The green casque has outdone 
your elegance." --Ezra Pound's poem
