why can't I mount all my drives

[Eradicator]

OK I have installed Knoppix. I have 3 HD, 1 IDE1 master, 1 IDE1 slave and 1 IDE2 slave. How should these be set up in FSTAB and in the MNT directory? I can not seam to get it straight. It looks like I have a HDA, HDB and HDD. What else besides MNT and the FSTAB file needs to be modified. I check the QTpartition program and they are all there.

thanks in advance

Let me know what you think
I am trying to get icons on the desktop for each of these drives...minus the swap drive

Thanks

Also what is the easiest way to delete and add new users.

Thanks

knoppix has a command I'm not running knoppix right now but I think it is: mkdesktopicons

run that command from konsole and that should make all of your desk top icons for you.

I presume you're using the KDE desktop. You can right click on the desktop and make a new ?? whatever you want. You can mount any of your drives to any mount points you choose (as long as the mount points exist of course). You can have it done automatically or manually. It's all in fstab.

Also what is the easiest way to delete and add new users.

Thanks

adduser
deluser

Tricky huh?

I had completely forgotten about that! I had to do a search:

mkdesktophdicons
