 Have added to fstab and now looks like below,

 /etc/fstab: static file system information.

              ------------------------------------
Floppy, cdrom and cdrom1, windows,  all show in Konqueror menu,
but can access none of them,cannot access even floppy drive.
I have not installed Knoppix, running from CD, has saved me so far,
as have been using the CD as operating system, internet connection etc.

/etc/group has dip:x:30:squareyes   so that seems OK,
Have checked /etc/peers/  optusnet(my isp), and provider  with vi, seem OK.
Tried adduser dip setup , pon initiates modem, but will not dial.
I am most interested in aptget which is why I am trying to install Deb, 
will check out
Ubuntu system if that has the same/similar features, without all the 
problems.
Take Care, Keep Safe.
