I mount it to edit sysconfig.cfg, lrpkg.cfg or copy misc lrps which can be used on demand from the same media. As an alternative, if editing of syslinux.cfg, lrpkg.cfg is given in lrcfg, it would obviate the need for mounting.

Why would you leave it mounted except when copying files or loading programs? Even if you boot off CD, it is wise to not leave it mounted. It could have programs on it that could be useful to someone who got access. Since the boot media is only used at boot and backup - it should stay umounted. I believe lrcfg should give you an error message if the backup media is already mounted. -- Victor McAllister ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
