this is probably obvious but just incase it's not a couple things i forgot to mention: mkdir /usr ; umount /usr.new mount -a after adding the stuff to /etc/fstab and yes I have forgotten to do this sometimes on some of my copies :) not hard to fix, just went back to single user mode and did it and came back again. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
