Post Installation Procedure for Linux Systems

You'll probabily need to modify your /etc/fstab in order to make automatic mounting/umounting removable devices work. Part of my /etc/fstab looks like 
#
# ------- So normal user can mount/umount removable devices------
#
/dev/hdc      /cdrom     iso9660  user,noauto,ro,exec,unhide
/dev/fd0      /floppy    msdos    user,noauto,rw
/dev/hdb4     /zip       msdos    user,noauto,rw
#
/dev/fd0      /floppy2   ext2     user,noauto,rw,exec
/dev/hdb4     /zip2      ext2     user,noauto,rw,exec
#
# make sure the mounting points /cdrom /floppy ... are of mode 1777
#  (chmod 1777 /cdrom) ...
