Well, the distribution, by definition, is Debian. This _is_ debian-laptop. I guess you're right about the autoloader.

Sheesh. > an example who cares ? And to answer your question - yes I do mount > stuff off /mnt - why wouldn't I ? Its an empty directory by default. It's not been an empty directory on any system I've installed. Right now it has /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/cdrw and /mnt/floppy (I'll admit to having renamed the CDs to something that made more sense to me). My Fedora core install has /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/cdrom1 (auto discovered at install time). You could use /mnt directly, but it makes sense to use a subdirectory. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
