Ramon,
Thankyou for your concise and thoughtful reply. I have saved it for future
reference. I have tried the entries you suggested for my fstab file and
it just isn't working. I am including a copy of my fstab file in hopes
someone can point out what I'm doing wrong here. I am able to mount vfat
floppies, just can't get the ext2 working. I've tried all the
obvious.. Here's the fstab file, the way it came configured in Mandrake
7.0:
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
thanks again
