Re: Could someone please respond...

Folks,
I have had some interim success.  It appears that in order for the
're-create desktop shortcuts' to pick up the CD-ROM and Floppy, one must
set the 'user' option in /etc/fstab, REGARDLESS of the user.  I tried as
root without the 'user' option and it failed; adding the 'user' option
fixed it.  Tonight I will try this at home.  

Thank you all for chiming in and helping me.  I hope others benefited as
well.

Sincerely,
Tim
