This isn't Windows; reinstalling is very very rarely the best, or even a good, solution to problems. :-) When you mount a partition, there are two parts to this, the actual partition and the directory that partition is mounted on (the "mount point"). So even if the partition isn't mounted, the directory it's normally mounted on is still there. You can check for sure if something is mounted or not by just running 'mount'. That will list all of the mouned partitions there; if nothing is listed on /mnt/sys, then you're set. The /mnt/sys directory will probably (though not necessarily) be empty as well. Also, just editing /etc/fstab won't magically cause a partition to be unmounted; you need to run 'umount /mnt/sys' or something equivalent to actually do the unmounting. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
