A combination of the master-slave or single relationship, and the cable used determines the drive letter following hd. The table Charles gave, i expand on here. | Single/Master/Slave | Cable | hdX | +-+-+-+ | Single | Primary | hda | +-+-+-+ | Master | Primary | hda | | Slave | Primary | hdb | +-+-+-+ | Single |Secondary| hdc | +-+-+-+ | Master |Secondary| hdc | | Slave |Secondary| hdd | +-+-+-+ Therefore in Linux the designating letter is set by the hardware location. So if, when you installed your second drive you changed your CD-RW to a slave you will have to change the appropriate reference letter for it. As advised by others, you do this both in lilo.conf and /etc/fstab files. Hope that helps. Michael Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Aliases
Hi,
I would like to add my aliases to my local profile only(~/bashrc). The one
I want is l='ls -l', but it seems this one has already been defined and I
can't overload it. Unalias has no permanent effect, I find. What to do?

Hi,

First type 'alias' in a terminal to see what you've already got.
Then, I make the aliases I want to add in /etc/bashrc to make them
global to all users (me ;) As root just use a text editor to add 'em
to the end of bashrc For example, putting in this line
alias loci=locate -i
will enable 'loci' to do a case insensitive search for whatever you
type after 'loci', eg 'loci mandrake' will find all instances of
either Mandrake or mandrake.
With all aliases, they won't take effect till you start a new
terminal. With my example, you're slocate DB will need to be
current. To update it, type 'updatedb'. I use this alias to do a
bunch of updating all at once
alias updall='rpm --rebuilddb updatedb ldconfig -v'
There's other ways to add aliases, but I find making them global
in bashrc is easiest, since I only need to save /etc/bashrc to
instantly make them available to a fresh install by just coping in my
bakup bashrc to /etc. Basically, anything you can do on the command
line, can be shortened to a few characters, by just adding
alias some charaters=the command you want to etc/bashrc to
save typing, and you only have to get it right once ;) Just remember
to surround the the command you want with either double () or
single (') quote marks when you add it to bashrc.

Re: [newbie] Shutdown does not turn PC off

It should turn off the computer but it doesn't. I haven't changed a thing since 8.1 and even PnP OS is set to No if that matters. There doesn't seem to be a visible difference in the scripts in /etc/rc.d/ which are probably responsible for shutdown (as far as I figured).
