Late last night I tried a hard drive install, instead of going to bed (first mistake). I thought I'd check the option to clean the /tmp directory during startup, even though I knew the install partion was mounted there (second mistake). The cooker install was on my mdk 7.2 partition (third mistake). After rebooting for the first time, I thought that aurora had locked up. Nope, it was just peachy. It just took a long time to delete 6.5 gigs of perfectly good software. If I may be so bold, a little thing like putting a 'noauto' instead of the usual 'defaults' here and there in the fstab might protect the system from other people like me... Luckily, a few brain cell were firing. I had just backed everything up. - William Murphy -- @- FEAR the Penguin /(w)\ http://www.snowcrest.net/glyph ^ ^ Dear William Good Shot, correct, absolutely right, good thinking with only a few braincells, get some sleep. Backup, backup, and ummm oh gee, yeah and uhmm oh yeah. Backup. Maurice B.

Are you sure you're using latest cooker? Did your fstab really contain the mount point /tmp/hdimage leading to the partition mirroring cooker? -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
