Help with fstab additions

Trimmed all past discussion just to save space.

PROGRESS:
- The comma should NOT be there as it is not part of the type, it is an
option allowing a user to do the mount.
- The reason the first two and the last two fail is for some reason the file
is not found even though it is really there.  I suspect something like wierd
syntactical thing or a buffer overflow, or ...   I will have to look at this
more.
- When I dumped the comma and did a sudo mount -a, I got

larry at fogtest:~$ sudo mount -a
> mount: special device
> /home/larry/isofiles/ubuntu/10.04/ubuntu-10.04.02-desktop-i386.iso does not

so I tried the following an got back where I started so I think I can put
the loop back now and work at figuring out why it can find the legitimate
files.

larry at fogtest:~$ sudo mount -a -o loop
> /home/larry/isofiles/ubuntu/10.04/ubuntu-10.04.02-desktop-i386.iso: No such

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it always to be kept alive.
