And, if you want something mounted read-only, all the time, you can add an entry to the fstab file for it. Then, the auto-mounter won't do anything with it. Syntax: /dev /mountpoint fileysystemtype options e.g. /dev/sdb3 /mnt/windows fat32 ro Change the parameters to suit your own situation. See the man files for mount and fstab, at least. Tip: Don't put manually mounted partitions inside /media. That's where the auto-mounter does its tricks, and you might pick a fight with it. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
