Ok, checked everything in rc.d and found no tilde.
This system is a desktop, with 1 hda one 4GB (IDE) split into two VFAT
partitions for win95 with one ext2 boot partition and one 9 GB sda split into
three ext2 partitions. No RAID or NFS used. Oh it does have a zip and that does
hang during boot up if empty, so I keep a disk in it.
fstab follows:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/DOS_hda1 vfat user,exec,conv=auto 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/DOS_hda5 vfat user,exec,conv=auto 0 0
/dev/sda5 /pix ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda6 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/zip /mnt/zip supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/zip 0 0

I never modified fstab, install default.
Is it possible NFS is started by default and I need to turn it off? Where could
I check for it? I have looked into DrakConf under services, and NFS is not
running but XFS is, whatever that is, external file system? if so what is that
and could that be the problem?
