If I have time, I'll try - once I am clear what it is that you want. I'm afraid that at the moment I haven't succeeded in understanding what it is that you want. In your explanation, try to keep things the right way round: mount partitions on mount points, not mount points on partitions. At the moment I am very muddled about what you are trying to do. Lisi P.S. Sorry, Luca. I have only just got round to investigating why my emails go to you and not the list. It is a problem that I don't usually have, and I forgot just now. Normally I just click "reply" and it goes to the list. I usually have to click on "reply special" to reply to the author. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
