HD Install :: After Frugal-Grub, hdax no more mounted

Don't know what's wrong with this forum - I logged in - forum welcomes me, but when I added a reply it called me 'guest' again

?
(not too important though :;):

rob,
2 posts are not enough, must be the age

I've forgotten the easiest checks you could do, just enter:

Code Sample

mount

(lists you all that is currently mounted incl. your root filesystem)

Code Sample

('disk free' shows also what is mounted + capacities)

df -h is alot easier to read

I have never just tried the mount command...thanks for that one!

ok jo, thanks for your detailed reply.

in response here are the thiungs both you and AwPhuch recommended i check

my fstab reads...(RO in emelfm)

/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
etc etc

and the 'mount' command gives this...

>/dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
>/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
>/dev/pts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
>/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0666)

and just for completeness
df -h gives.....

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 473M 273M 177M 61% /

now i'm really confused as all of the above seems to say that the installed to drive is actually hda1 and is corrupted somehow. although i could be missing something (hopes).

btw, i am not still running from the cd.

I hope you can help cus i just managed to install jre 1.5.0.05 and limewire lastnight (both from .bin files) after much trying.

ps i changed my signature as i am now going for the full install... not frugal. just to prevent confusion if you are trying to help me.
