Well i installed everything and it went fine, but originally when i partitioned this 4gb hdd, i made 3 partitions (1x512mb for swap, 1x2gb for / , 1x1500mb for /home). I did the hd install without a hitch, and did some installing of various things. No problems up until then.
I sorted out the swap partition without to much fuss and it mounts ok at startup.
At this point i decided to try and get the /home partition mounted up and in use.
So I formatted the /home partition, mounted it, and proceeded to move /home/dsl to /mnt/hda5/dsl.
After this i dropped to a root console and edited fstab to make everything work (or so i thought), the line i added in at first was what i thought it should be (after reading some guides).
/dev/hda5 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
This didnt work out so well, so i changed it after reading a knoppix guide on adding new partitions.
It now looks like this:
/dev/hda5 /home auto rw,auto,user,exec 0 2
It still refuses to mount at startup.
If nothing else works i suppose i can fallback to adding a mount command in my rc.local file, to mount it after everything else is done with, but i'd prefer it was done automatically by fstab.
On a side note, im slowly realising how different debian/knoppix based distros are to fedora core, but im perservering.
Im gonna hit the sack now, and have another go at it in the morning, but if not any ideas would be appreciated on how to overcome this.
Thx in advance.
