What am I missing? My latest only has $ ls /dev/disk by-id by-path by-uuid What do you get when you do something like 'df -h'? Also, I like to see how my disk is organized. I will do 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' How would you do something like this? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
