To Change the /etc/rmmount.conf File

1. Become the root user by typing su, then type your password.

2. Change to the /etc directory. Type the following command and press Return:

   	# cd /etc 

3. Open the /etc/rmmount.conf file in your favorite editor.

4. Move the following line under #Actions to the end of the list:

   	action floppy action_macfs.so

   For example:

   	# more rmmount.conf 

   	# @(#)rmmount.conf 1.2     92/09/23 SMI 

   	# 

   	# Removable Media Mounter configuration file. 

   	#

   	# File system identification 

   	ident hsfs ident_hsfs.so cdrom 

   	ident ufs ident_ufs.so cdrom floppy 

   	ident pcfs ident_pcfs.so floppy 

   	ident macfs ident_macfs.so floppy

   	# Actions 

   	action cdrom action_filemgr.so 

   	action floppy action_filemgr.so 

   	action floppy action_macfs.so

5. Save and exit.

   When the MAE is installed, it puts the macfs action line in the rmmount.conf file for you. If MAE is de-installed, the line is removed.

   This change enables you to use removable media in the OpenWindows or CDE File Manager application and still use Macintosh floppies in MAE. However, it does stop MAE from grabbing unformatted, unreadable, or DOS floppies. All those disks will go to the OpenWindows File Manager application using this setup procedure.

   If you want to allow MAE access to unreadable, unformatted, or DOS floppies, then the action floppy action action_macfs.so line must be placed before the action floppy action_filemgr.so line.
