fstab

my current fstab is as follows:-

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda5 /media/space vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /media/windows ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0

if anyone can see faults in this then comment!! but it seems all good apart from my ntfs drive icon keep's appearing in the top right hand corner making me move at every logon :{

ive also found a handy looking newgroup site www.binsearch.info not fully tested but give's the option to create nzb's from the posts within a particular group

back to ubuntu




now that i have my hardives swapped and everthing is running fine with xp media center installed and running well with all the music and media/games appz i need on that OS.
ive now partitioned my drives to 20gig media centre edition on hda1, 20gig ubuntu 5.10 and a 34gig fat32 partition to read/ write to in both linux and windows.

just installing amsn which is fun since i clicked it off during the tcl install
