I checked the default Fstab which came with Stage 3 & there's no sign of it, so I deleted it, rebooted & everything works. There were also these lines : # >= glibc 2.2 expect tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm # for POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). # tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk # and will use almost no memory if not populated with files. # Adding the following line should take care of this: none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 I deleted them too & it seems to have had no effect. However, I was amused to see that the Stage 3 Fstab does have the line : /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0 Does anyone still use diskettes ? Today's mobos have no slot for them. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
