cd/dvd & mouse

[jb]

I think I have plenty of memory 786mb with 1.5gb swap plus the nvidia 
video card has 32mb of memory on it. I'm not through a network. I think 
the mouse hesitation is a cpu time sharing thing which I think the 
program nice lets you adjust but I might be wrong about that. The mouse 
hesitation only happens while I'm Opening multiple programs so the mouse 
being hesitant isn't a major problem. It would be nice to adjust it a 
little though. The cdrom not accessible is a problem. I tried the 
(hdparm /dev/hdc -d and it came up command not found? I did add user to 
the etc/fstab but no cigar. It also has
/dev/hdd  /media/cdrom  auto  pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc  /media/cdrecorder  auto  pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0  /media/floppy  auto  pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
I used vi to edit user into the file but when I checked again user 
entries were gone and I saved them as root.
The fstab file says it has to be edited by fstab-sync?
