Of course it loaded with no problems at all. It mounted my HD which it found on /dev/sda1. I checked the fstab it generated and it also had /dev/sda1 in that file. Using the same settings (changing the mount point, of course) still did not help Squeeze to find it. Same results. :( But I enjoyed the Sidux experience. :) cheers, jonathan -- Registerd Linux user #445917 at http://counter.li.org/
