All,

I've searched the forums and googled for this without any luck. I'm running Knoppix 8.3.1 and trying to get my fat32 partition to automatically be mounted read/write on startup.

I start knoppix with the cheat code: knoppix fromhd=/dev/hde1 myconfig=/dev/uba1

/dev/hde1 is mounted as /cdrom and is read only.

I want it to be mounted as /mnt/hde1 and read/write.

I tried changing the fstab file as follows:

.
.
.
/dev/hde1 /mnt/hde1 vfat users,exec,rw,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix 0 0 # I added this line
# Added by KNOPPIX
#/dev/hde1 /mnt/hde1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppi x 0 0 # I commented out this line
.
.
.

I saved my config to my usb jumpdrive /dev/uba1 and rebooted.

This change had no effect, but the fstab file still has my changes. Is Knoppix loading my fstab from config too late to have an effect?

How do I fix this?

Thanks,
Mike
