Hello All: I am new to Fedora. Just installed Fedora 8 on my Dell Inspiron Laptop. So far I am impressed. I have a USB External hard drive that is attached. Does anyone know how to permanently mount the partitions on it? I would like to use it for Hard Drive back up and to play music files from. Also could you recommend a good way to back up my current lappy hard disk to one of the partitions on the external hard drive. TIA -- Yours, Ralph. It said Use Windows XP or better, so I installed Kubuntu 7.10 Register Linux User 168814 ICQ #49993234 AIM & Yahoo ralphfdewitt jabber.org ralphdewitt GPG Public Key available at http://www.keyserver.net Key id = 3097 3BC4 Kernel version 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 Current Linux uptime: 21 days 1 hours minutes.
