[Bio-Linux] USB media not automounted

[Tony Travis]

Hello,

I noticed that USB media were not being automounted after installing 
Bio-Linux5 on my laptop from the Bio-Linux5 USB stick: I've traced the 
problem to two incorrect entries in the /etc/fstab created during the 
installation. It seems the installer thinks the USB stick is a CD/DVD 
drive. A work-around is to comment out the two incorrect entries at the 
end of /etc/fstab, and add a correct one for the real CD/DVD drive:

...
# /dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 
     0
# /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 
     0
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

I think the problem arises because there is an ISO bootable DVD image on 
the USB stick, which the installer assumes is mounted from a CD/DVD...

Merry Christmas :-)

Bye,

	Tony.
