Hi I think you need to format it and then mount it. You can mount it as /mnt but you might want to have it as part of your filesystem. if this is the case then I can't help you. As the sig says..... good luck pete -- Someone esle can help you better than I can. Every time I think that perhaps we are an advanced race, I turn around and read ramblings on Slashdot, and realize I was wrong. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
