fstab

Can you delete the fstab file in linux without having any problems??

[deep_sky]

from what i remember in my unix class, that would not be a good idea. i would leave it alone, apart what you need to do to mount additional fs's...

Do not delete it or you will not be able to mount your CDROM, Floppy, or any other Partition -

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to delete it?

The reason I want to delete it is becuase it does not let me moount my cdrom driv anywhere else other than the location it specifies in fstab.

then edit fstab and specify the location you want - or if you prefer to mount the CDROM manually from the command line each time, your can delete only the entry for the CDROM drive from fstab and then mount at the command line using the same kind of command parameters you find in fstab - which is actually going to be quite a hassle.

Under what directory do you wnat to mount the CDROM?

thanks C monster that was the exact answer I was looking to hear.
