the mount point for the "special" file /dev/sda1 would be in /media. /dev/sda wait, /dev/sda1 is my root filesystem. my USB stick is /dev/sdf . mount /dev/sdf /media/sdf1 what is the output of the mount command on your system as it normally boots: what folders do you have under /media? if sda1 is your USB stick, what happens when you type: mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ( assuming you have a folder sda1 under /media) -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
