Hello -

I have a server and client set up and they can manually mount the file systems but only in root which is fine but i would like them to mount on system start up.  Ive went into my /etc/fstab and I've added a line:

192.168.0.XX:/home/teacher/client4 /mnt/client4 nfs rw 0 0

Like i said it works if i manually mount but it doens't work on automounting at bootup....

Any Suggestions?

You need to stop DSL form automatically creating fstab every time. I did this by adding
 nofstab
to lilo.conf then rebuilding it.

You can also put other knoppix like cheatcodes in.

For livecd or other compressed installs, you can add your manual mount command to /opt/bootlocal.sh
bootlocal.sh runs as root and is already part of the default backup.
