I updated the fstab with //Oracle/ARAGORN /disks/H smbfs username=julian,password=[mypassword] 0 0 Then I rebooted in Expert mode. It didn't even notice the changes. The system mounted /disks/C through /G and completely ignored H - no mention of it at all. Then I noticed a line about fstab being autogenerated so I uncommented the line to read autogeneration=off Still no joy, it's ignoring fstab alterations so I have a suspicion there is something else that has to be changed. Xandros *is* Debian based btw. I then tried installing webmin to see if I could set it up that way - refusing to log in, tells me connection refused after the certificate is accepted[1]. At no point do I get to enter a UID or PWD so that's a dead option. Then I tried through Samba. I've always used SWAT previously, but now THAT refuses to install claiming broken packages. *head scratch* Not sure where to go from here.
