I did that and I get " mount: fs type fs=vfat not supported by kernel". So the line I have in fstab is: /dev/sda1 /mnt/compactflash fs=vfat noauto,user 0 0 and that just doesn't feel right. Oh I had previously done the "mkdir /mnt/compactflash" but nothing shows up in mtab. The directory is there in /mnt but nothing in it even though the card in the reader has a couple of pictures on it. Any ideas? All help is appreciated. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
