DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: How to get RID of that "must be superuser to umoun

For one thing, it encourages people to mount and umount in emelfm as root.

To mount emelFM as root isn't needed.
To umount I've added a button and an user command with the following code in emelFM:

Code Sample

sudo umount %f

Of course it's only another workaround.

Btw, thanks to mikshaw, i've added 3 more buttons to emelFM:
- To mount CD (Command: mount /dev/cdrom)
- To umount CD (Command: sudo umount /dev/cdrom)
- To eject CD (Command: sudo eject /dev/cdrom)

I confess I have an eject toolbutton and also an sudo umount toolbutton - but I'd still rather this kind of thing was fixed.

I guess I'm not sure I understand why dsl should stick with old woody utils like this (prehistory for the sake of it?) - the current release compiles easily on dsl and works. It doesn't have any libraries.
