I can just nano /etc/fstab and add /dev/sda1? I thought fstab was |
| 14 |
generated by the machine or something, and that it isn't a terribly |
| 15 |
good idea to edit it. |

I'll try that now. |

I don't have a /mnt directory. Should I just create one? |

No, I had to manually create a mount point via the GUI and then enable |
| 43 |
the thing and all this stuff. Then KDE just looked at /media and |
| 44 |
slapped that on my desktop. I mounted my windows partition (back when |
| 45 |
I had one) on /media so that I could have that on my desktop too. |
