It looks to me (could be wrong) that in your update and subsequent etc-update, you overwrote your modem config and /etc/fstab. Hopefully you have a backup of the fstab on the machine. Boot the box to the live CD and check the fstab file. If it has been overwritten, use your backup or rewrite the file with nano-w. Good luck. Let us know how you make out. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
