| 270479 | 2004-09-08 23:21:00 | hey guys, I want to configure my mandrake 10 install so that whenever I login it mounts /dev/hda7. However I cannot find a drake panel graphical configurererer so how do I get to the startup script, and can I just chuck bash commands in there? Cheers willie_M |

| 270480 | 2004-09-08 23:56:00 | Why not just add the line to your /etc/fstab The fstab is the File-System Tab - Meaning it keeps track of what mounts go where. Add: /dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 auto umask=000,users 0 0 Keep note of the spaces etc and you should be fine :-) Then just issue the command: mount /mnt/hda7 Even as a user, and you're away! Chill. |

| 270481 | 2004-09-09 00:18:00 | But i want it to mount it automatically when I log in..... | willie_M (5608) | ||
| 270482 | 2004-09-09 01:03:00 | Okay, where it says: umask=000,users in your /etc/fstab, change it so it also has: umask=000,users,noauto This wont do it automatically on boot now. You should be able to add the mount to ~/.bashrc and it should mount it. |

| 270483 | 2004-09-09 04:13:00 | OK didn't quite understand that but it seems to be automounting now anyway so I'll stop playing. :D Also, whats the network neighborhood equivalent on mandrake? How can I 'browse' the networked devices/machines? |

| 270484 | 2004-09-09 04:17:00 | One of them is called LinNeighborhood Found in Network -> Remote Access -> LinNeighborhood |

| 270486 | 2004-09-09 05:06:00 | If you edited the fstab as I said, then it'll automount on boot (If that's what you want). Otherwise for only when you login, it _should_ be ~/.bashrc (Why would you want it only when you login??) For Samba browsing, try opening konqueror and typing: smb:// This should list all Workgroups on the LAN. If you know the hostname, try: smb://desktop1/sharename/ Otherwise, smb4k is good too :-) Chill. |
