It actually says that the feature of mounting DOS extended partitions isn't present in 2.1, but should be in 2.2. Actually, this feature was introduced in 2.0.5. Actually^2, this feature will never be supported. You mount logical drives, not the extended partitions that contain the logical drives. >If it is, how do I mount my dos extended partition, it's my second >partition on my first hd. Is it the second DOS partition and the first logical drive in the first extended partition? That's the the first logical drive so it is slice 5, i.e., sd0s5 if your disk is SCSI. mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s5 /somewhere Bruce
