Les, I have a slightly different setup to you but have not had the unmounting issue. As the eeePC belongs to the missus I am not allow to "break it" so I installed eeeXubuntu to a SD card, with only GRUB being installed on the solid state drive. I leave the SD in permanently, the only difference my wife notices is a 1 second GRUB message at bootup, then it goes to the default ASUS/Xandros distro. Here is my fstab if that helps: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sdb1 UUID=c15a6727-7cd4-43b8-bb25-ffd019b5a95c / ext3 defaults,noatime,errors=remount- ro 0 1 # /dev/sdb5 UUID=88a85d29-17b2-477f-9fc8-d8984b3110f5 none swap sw 0 0 # /dev/sdc1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 -- Mark M Lambert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
