Now I have to figure out how to get it to mount under my regular user account instead of as root. I think I remember something about setting it up in /etc/fstab and user a creds file or something like that, so I guess I'll Google a bit and see if I can figure it out. Tonight I got sidetracked setting up wine so I could try and get Dreamweaver MX running on Linux. Still banging away on that one... :-) Thanks again, Justin > enzin | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.1000plus.com/lisa/ > of what avail is an open eye if the heart is blind? - solomon ibn gavirol -- -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
