Re:  Emma Jane Hogbin posting

I've look at your link and found the paper very informative.  I think
the "ln -s ..." and subsequent /etc/fstab entries are just what I'm
looking for.  My son and I usually work on these these things together.
 He has more technical ability than I have but I use Fedora CORE 1 all
the time except for Quicken and Quick Tax.  When we get together next
time I'll show him the material found in your link.  He makes his
living as a desktop/netword support person in the Windows world but is
an ardent fan of Linux.

The following two lines were pasted from your document.

=================== two pasted lines ==========================

 # ln -s /dev/sda1 /dev/fatflash
 # ln -s /dev/sda2 /dev/flash

====================end two pasted lines ======================

Can sda2 be used for /dev/flash and can sda2 be used for /dev/fatflash?
Or does linux/kernel determine the sda number based on some kind of
hardware attribute?  I'm not sure if I'm asking the question properly.

By the way,  thank you very much for your post regarding my USB
question.

:) :) :)
