Ok, it seems I am a little off on my problem description.

I can delete /media/floppy but on system restart, that directory is automagically created. I thought this would have been from my fstab entry, so I deleted both the /dev/fd0 line from my fstab, and deleted the /media/floppy directory but on bootup, both are created.

Hi Craig,

By default there is a noauto in the fstab.

Depends on who created the fstab entry.

I first tried removing the entry for the floppy from the fstab, and

upon

my next boot up the following was inserted at the end of my fstab

file:

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

This is my entry, which works under FC2 to do exactly what you want.

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user,exec,kudzu 0 0

(well, I cut some space for readability)

Are you suggesting I change this to the following? So, as you can see, the noauto is already in my fstab.

Yes, I don't understand what is the problem, myself. OTOH, I don't know what the "pamconsole" does, either, nor the "managed". Perhaps "managed" is a replacement for "kudzu", but I doubt it.

Maybe I do not understand your solution properly.

Thanks, Ash
