You shouldn't need to put the information in fstab to mount it. Just run: mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /mnt/otherlin If your mandrake partition is in fact a logical partition, then remember that there is a number for your extended partition after the primary partitions (e.g., if sda2 is the last primary partition, then sda3 would be the extended partition, and sda4 would actually be the logical partition with mandrake on it.) You can look this up by using cfdisk, if you like. In that case, mount -t ext3 /dev/sda4 /mnt/otherlin would be the appropriate command. Casey
