I appreciate the response.

I did a 'native install' however and erased my hard drive 100%. My partitions are:

/dev/hda1 linuxswap
/dev/hda2 linux ext3 mounted as /
/dev/hda3 linux ext3 mounted as /musicshare

Therefore, all my partitions are linux type. I have no fat32 or NTFS partitions in this system.

If the partitions were NTFS or vfat, my experience is that DSL will still find them and will autopopulate the /etc/fstab and mtab files correctly.

It even catches the NTFS stuff and mounts it read only.
