I am using Mandrake 8.0 .I thought it might have >something to do with the auto mounting facility >(supermount) but can't find anything
Well, I'm trying on MDKexpert, but I'm not holding my breath. I've seen more probs with MDK on e-lists and forums than any other distro, but then I spose it *does* attract newbies.
I am literally at the point of changing back to Suse
At the moment in other browser windows, I am looking at Slackware and Debian on Cheeplinux.com . If you want something done properly, do it yourself. (stop sniggering you lot- at least I'll LEARN how to do it properly)
(you're right, I don't have any patience)
My reasoning for Deb or Slackware is that the more you're hand is held along the way, the less able you are to fix it when it goes wrong.
(read- I'm afraid of making myself look a pratt!)!!!!!!!!!!! :<))
I already have! :) But then I have no shame, and besides, that's the only way I learn. It makes the experts look good too! ;) Luckily there have been some people on-list who have given me some excellent pointers- not just RTFM, but "this is how to find the manual, and this is how to read it". So... thanks y'all for your patience!!!
Linux is a minefield of distro's, each with their own peculiarities, and I have found almost guaranteed that things are never where they are meant to be- even in distro-specific documentation. (although my experience is only RH6.1 and MDK8.0)
I'd be grateful to know if you do 'sort' the problem.
I'll try disabling supermount, and mount manually. Other than that.... ?????????????? :)
