declaring DVDRAM on fstab

After installing gentoo 2006.0 for the first time I realized that I didnt have access to my DVD-RAM drive so this si what I did opened a terminal ( xterm) and as root I did mkdir /mnt/dvd /This folder doesnt exist in gentoo so you have to creat it vi /etc/fstab / You have to edit your /fstab file since the one Gentoo creates >only declares essetial boot devices e.g: HD, /boot, etc /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd ext2,udf,iso9660 noatime,noauto,users,rw 0 0 NOTE: I added this line at the bottom of the file. NOTE- DVD-RAM : To write DVD-RAM's you NEED to have "noatime" in the fstab
