It's not mounted by default as a precaution.

This sounds like /etc/fstab is incorrect. You should have something like: /dev/hda2 /boot <fs> noauto,noatime 1 1 /dev/hda4 / <fs> noatime 1 1 /dev/hda3 none swap swap 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
