use the absolute path when mounting. i.e. mount /dev/device /mountpoint
if you use mount /dev/device mountpoint and you are in say, /tmp and mountpoint doesn't exist, it won't work. if mountpoint is in / and you are in / when you issue the command it will. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Sun, 31 Oct 1999, Wendell Buckner wrote: > I've had this problem since I started fooling around with linux about four > months ago and never fixed.
