HI |
27 |
|

Thanks for the response -- I tried the additional stuff in /etc/fstab |
29 |
that you mentioned and when I hook up the usb drive and type /mount/sda1 |
30 |
/mnt/flash -- I get |
31 |
|
32 |
You must be root to mount |
33 |
|
34 |
I don't know whats up with it. I appreciate the suggestion though -- at |
35 |
this point, I guess its gonna take more troubleshooting time than I have |
36 |
to spend, so I will back burner it for a while till the workload eases |
37 |
up a bit -- I was hoping it was a simple setting change. I don't fear |
38 |
pages of instructions at all, I truly enjoy it, the problem is more the |
39 |
amount of time taken to execute what I want - -I have a number of really |
40 |
pressing problems right now that im working on, so I will fiddle with |
41 |
this later. |
