You should not have to mount or umount as root user. Therein points to your issue. Perhaps you have an extension that overwrites /bin/mount.

Both mount.app and cli $ was tested base norestore and also with gnu-utils.dsl. There is no /bin/mount in gnu-utils.dsl. Having such would explain your issue. If you have /bin/mount in your gnu-utils.dsl then you need to refresh gnu-utils.dsl gnu-utils was updatet (mount) removed when mount command was updated to allow user mount/umount many versions ago.

Seems I have gnu-utils.unc in. I don't have a chance to check this now but I'll do a troughout test when I'll get the chance and report back...
firstly, it works, i just mounted the 4.4.7 cd under a running 4.4.5 system, created /hda1/4.4.7 and copied the KNOPPIX file to it. then added a new line to grub specifying knoppix_dir=hda1/4.4.7 and restore=hda1/4.4.7 and restarted the machine.  i get 4.4.7 with its own fresh conf.  

yes i get various errors telling me the device is invalid when i try to backup, and again on shutdown, but i have so far ignored them.

It was gnu-utils.unc. It had not been updated and contained an old mount command that was overwriting the correct one.

I have updated gnu-utils.unc, check .info to see 10/31 entry regarding such.

Hey Happy B-Day Stu!
What happens if no dots in dir name?
Can you provide more info. I would like to clean it up.
thamks. hik.?!
tried renaming to 447 and got the same responses im afraid.

i havnt "done" anything with it yet ie just a "hi.txt" file in the /home/dsl dir.  but i must be honest, i like the new corner arangement with mount.app maybe we could add the old and best wmix to it.

*torsmorc is missing the exec line for torsmo_ip so the pumped ip address does not show indicating network up.
