This last part is the most important. A lot of folks would throw up their hands and scream out of the room by now. I'm assuming you have two internal disks, one with the OS, swap, / etc. and a second with your songs Did the installer ask for what mount point to use for the song disks? Lets jump ahead, fire up a shell, no need for privs. and do a df you should see something like this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdc1 74312868 9768908 60769092 14% / tmpfs 453396 0 453396 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10240 84 10156 1% /dev tmpfs 453396 0 453396 0% /dev/shm /dev/hdh1 39389776 28429528 8959356 77% /bay1 /dev/hdf1 59087236 41035364 15050252 74% /bay2 /dev/hde1 192243928 149185740 33292680 82% /bay3 /dev/sda1 288451232 81489348 192309404 30% /bay5 The first is the root, and it tells you how Linux sees the disk. For mine, the first disk is /dev/hdc1 which is roughly the same as a Windows 'C:' disk. For me, the last four are the disks with my music. "/dev/hde1" and f1 and h1 are all IDE and /dev/sda1 is SATA Might as well do this as well: sudo cat /etc/fstab The key to see is if the fstab has the songs disk included. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
