I recently went through a little debacle with my boot sector...to make a
long story short , I ended up cleaning things up by installing 10 and
creating partitions.  I then re-installed win2k over top. Yes lilo was
gone, but ran the repair install and it was back.  But now, unlike with
last install of 9.2 I have no mount of windows partition since it wasn't
there during install to set for auto. I have added the line in fstab but
now dice....Do I have torecompile to get it in there?
Thanks,,
    

No, just add a line to /etc/fstab for it and make sure the mount point exists.  
It should look something like this if you are using ntfs:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs ro,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

or like this if it is fat32:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat codepage=850,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

Yes, I seemed to fix it. I added a similar line to fstab  /dev/hda3 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults, uid= 501, gid=501
But Now I notice that it gives a warning about this line duting startup
What is wrong with it?  I also have a question about permissions and Mozilla/xmmms which I installed but cant seem to locate when I log in as myself, well I can locate them but cant execute except as Root.  I thought I have changed the permissions with a   chmod a+rwx   .....
Thanks for all the help!
