Hi,

I have a Fedora Core 4 box I'm working with and no Xwindows.  I need to
add a 
disk to it and can't find docs on the web that make it easy.  Since it
is 
running haldaemon it requires use of fstab-sync.  Here's what I do when
there 
is no hal.

fdisk /dev/sd?
mke2fs -j /dev/sd?
mount /dev/sd? /my/directory

I'd like the disk to mount at boot time.  

Okay, I'll be naive here, and wonder aloud if you can't just modify
/etc/fstab?  You can use the /dev/sd? or the LABEL=blah form (assuming
you've labeled it), and off you go.  Kind of an end-run around
haldaemon.  It won't touch lines it didn't add.

Danny
