Hello; I'm new at this and have been using linux for only a few weeks. Anyway - I am running RH9. I create a directory of: /mnt/windows I edit /etc/fstab to add : /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows auto auto,owner,kudzu 0 0 then I run: mount -a After that everything works fine and I can read and write to my windows drive. The problem is that when I reboot, the fstab file has been re-edited to delete that line and the directory /mnt/windows has been deleted. How do I set it up so that the windows directory is always mounted when I start and unmounted when I shutdown? - - - - - NOTICE: Whomever is using the office paper shredder to make coleslaw - QUIT IT!
