Greetings.
I started using GNU/Linux two and a half years ago,
and have been a (mostly) happy Mandrake user. I had
always wanted to try Debian for the ease of apt-get,
and now that I have broadband, I wanted to switch. I
successfully installed Sarge on my machine over the
weekend, and there are a few quirks I need to iron
out.
1) I was going to copy my old /etc/fstab to the new
installation, but I don't think that will work since
to the best of my knowledge Debian doesn't use
supermount or magicdev. Is this correct? I've never
compiled a kernel before, and the idea of doing so is
a challenge I look forward to overcoming.
2) The fstab that the Sarge installer created lists
one of my cd drives three times with different mount
points. Why is this?
3) How do I figure out which /dev item corresponds to
which drive? I have a hdc and hdd. Is hdc the master
and hdd the slave?
This is just for starters. I'm having good luck
figuring everything else out on my own.
Answers to any or all of the above questions would be
appreciated.
Mike
