Thanx RockMumbles,

This is the info I need.


Robert Michel, you are a linux purist and there's always a need for that. I'm learning Linux any way I can. I read the Linux for Dummies book and several online sources. However Linux on your HD is a whole differant animal than auto-detecting Koppix live CD Linux. I have installed Libernet/Debian Linux on my HD and it had all kinds of issues after it installed. I found out where grub was and how to edit the configuration files so now it dual boots to the windows boot loader. /etc/fstab was only letting me access the root partition and I didn't know how to fix it. I just booted into Knoppix and copied its fstab file over commented out and moved the rest of the partitions over and read the 'man mount' file to good effect. I did most of this while in Knoppix. I then created the mount point directories. It's all good so far.

I now know about GRUB config and fstab config thanx to Knoppix and a lot of help from my on line friends.
