used the latter (do a "man apropos" to know more) . man, followed by

all of the programs shipped with Debian (with Linux in general) come

I think so. IIRC, that's exactly what I did on mine. BTW, I have the
idea that cfdisk is "better" than fdisk, although I am so accustomed to
fdisk that I always use it.
nd problems with SATA drives, which are the de facto new
standard (the market is driven by the manufacturers, not the customers
as we are fooled into believing) are far from minute... IMHO.
Aggg, sorry for the rant.

The problem I could see is having missing _device_ files (say,
/dev/hdc) when upgrading the kernel (I wrote to another thread on the
subject), but not missing dirs...

forever (over 15m!!) to boot. Now, w/o hotplug, it is much faster, but
still very slow. And before anyone jumps on me, the problem was there

the fact that the disk was
regarded as /dev/sda by the 2.6, while the /etc/fstab read /dev/hda1

the problem is the
size of the /tmp partition (or /, where /tmp probably resides), you
could always move the current /tmp folder to somewhere else (another
partition with lots of free space), then create a soft link: ln -s
/newdir /tmp. This way, the settings of the system will stay unchanged.
ces:
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable

Or rather:
Package: *
Pin: release a=Etch
Pin-Priority: 1000
The latter would directly give a higher priority to Etch packages, and
make you forget about stable or unstable. Some say a=Etch is not
supported, and that it should read a=testing. I

Maybe it is silly, but... what is the order of the lines in your fstab?
Are you, by chance, trying to mount /mnt/data _before_ / is mounted,
for example?

Etch version a penalty of -400 points because it is older than the
one already installed, then the 1.3 Sid would win 200 vs. 100 (The
figures are completely made up by me).

Yes. The point _is_ setting rules. There are some rules that make us

For understanding what version you are running, and what packages will
