I asked: How do you mount all the drives/partitions at boot time without having to actually type in the mount -t msdos /.... command?
And the responce (thanks) was to add entries to the fstab file. Well, I did this and when I rebooted, i wasn't able to perform many commands. It was like root and other accounts had a messed up path. I could ls and shutdown, but I couldn't man or dselect. I took the mounting lines out and that fixed it back to normal. Why would that be? Chris ps- thanks to all who gave me the dpkg --force... help. It worked wonders.. and I didn't need to reinstall pine/pico, because they were already made... -- '\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\ Live on Real Audio Thursday nights 8-11 EST http://www.uvm.edu/~wruv T-SNAKE [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN:1868354 A DJ on a mission CROSSFADE RECORDS http://www.crossfade.com/ Drug free techno ,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
