One silly question - having done this myself: do you actually have a /dosd entry in the /mnt directory? One point: if you're planning on using the lib on the road, I'd recommend a journalling file system - I use reiserfs - to avoid long waits for ext2 systems to be checked. I also use separate partitions for /boot, /, /home, and /usr which allows upgrades without losing personal data and installations. My 20g system: hda1 1 1014 win95 FAT32 hda2 1015 1019 linux ext2 hda3 1029 1063 linux swap hda4 extended hda5 1064 1318 linux reiser \ hda6 1319 2164 linux reiser \home hda7 2166 2432 linux reiser \usr I'm running on a 70 so I have less space for the hiernation bit.
