That seems to work better - no errors on boot-up!
However - I can see the directories - aka the mount points and they are rw for my admin login - but not mounted.... gaaah - do I need to put something in the automount?
...or change it to "auto" instead of noauto?
Thanks - Dan =)

NEVER fsck vfat file systems, totally unnecessary (let windows do that). Mount them at bootup like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/cee vfat noauto,owner,gid=500,rw 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/dee vfat noauto,owner,gid=500,rw 0 0 Note the "0 0", which means "never check this filesystem at bootup". You'll find that cdroms and floppies are also set up like this. > plus a whole variety of combinations... ... just not the right one :) > I have to mount them once logged in using the command: > > mount -w -t vfat /dev/hda1 //mnt/cee Yep, sure, that will work :) > I feel I am doing something stupid - but help would be appreciated! > Thanks - DC your words, not mine :-)))) Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com
