Normally /media is only used for removable disks. Partitions on your internal hard drives are normally described in /etc/fstab so they'll mount automatically at boot time. You might want to rearrange your system to work that way. Hint: by selecting a 'Custom' disk layout the Linux installer sorts that all out for you - you just say what partitions you want, whether to format them and which format to use and what the mount point is to be. Once that's done its doine and can be forgotten. > i mean i have to enter root password when opening it through dolphin > Running anything as root is a very bad idea indeed: its root kit heaven. Running anything under Wine as root is even worse because it lets viruses straight in. Do yourself a favour, set all your internal disk partitions up as I said above and create a special games user for access to the /games partition. And *never* do anything as root apart from sysadmin type tasks. Martin > > >
