It means that only two partitions on hda are mounted. Run "fdisk", and then type "p" and hit enter at the fdisk prompt. That will print the partition table, including partition types. Also, try running "mount" with no arguments. It will print the currently mounted filesystems. I suspect that what is going on is that one or both of those partitions are Linux swap partitions, and the other is possibly an old Windows FAT partitions that you haven't mounted in Linux. You may want to edit your /etc/fstab to make it mount automatically on boot up. -Andrew. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
