Antonio

I didn't edit by hand mtab....but I carried out a test with a plain
USB stick (not a Mplayer) and mtab set it to rw.
I remember that sometime ago I had a similar problem, someone pointed
out a temporary solution before a final solution was set in Fedora.
I can't understand why I got back to exactly same problem- maybe that
progress is some step forward some steps backward...not sure about
that  :-)

I assume that is a bug in Fedora, but I don't know the component to
fil a bug against
