But the latter half is Geek to me: what I know about fstab is how to spell it. And the man page is totally opaque, depending as usual on umpteen other things I can't even spell. I gather it's a plain text file, and I think the one I need is /etc/fstab; I presume I edit it somehow. Konqueror (which I run, under Gnome, almost entirely because it makes man pages so much more legible than my command line on a terminal) finds no man page for "remount". I presume I just do umount and -- what? The man pages jump from mergecap to multi (and from remap_file_pages to remque). How do I (re)mount something *in* a file?? As for your last line: obvious to whom? Has anyone recounted the classic definition of "obvious" here lately? The one about the Nobel laureate teaching postdocs? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
