Under most distros you can just add it to your /etc/fstab. This file tells linux what and how to mount various file systems. I would assume it works under Suse. The fstab of the machine I'm on looks like this: /dev/rd/c0d0p3 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/rd/c0d0p1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/rd/c0d1p6 /data ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/rd/c0d1p2 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/rd/c0d1p5 /tmp ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/rd/c0d1p1 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/rd/c0d1p3 /var ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/rd/c0d0p2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0 Which is a horrible example for a newbie question since the weird dev devices are hardware raid. But the last line is the interesting one. It tells the system to mount /dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows using the vfat file system. There are a bunch of options you can put in there like making it user-mountable, read all about those in the man pages (man fstab) -Marc -----Original Message----- From: Gregory Avedissian [mailto:avedis@ma.ultranet.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 10:46 AM To: wlug@mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] Newbie question Where do I put the command to mount my windows partition in linux, automatically at bootup, so I don't have to keep typing it? Using SuSE 7.2 and usually booting with loadlin, occasionally booting with floppy. Thanks in advance, Greg P.S. More questions to come as I figure out how to ask them.
