YES! I finally got hda3 mounted?
Like you said, Otto, without any -t options.

Here's what I got, I suppose Mandrake died peacefully when I installed
REDHAT, amen..

Sorry for this late reply, I have been spending the afternoon
reinstalling WinXP from scratch, since that died also a couple of days
ago.  WinXP is for my kidz. They are 8 and 12 years old and very much
addicted to Windoze.  Since I can't run any music under REDHAT, I was
obliged (yes, under pressure) to get XP back.

BTW I like the installation of RH9 much more; XP did not recognise the
ethernet card, nor the soundcard. What a mess.

Now I should repair GRUB I suppose; I had to boot RH9 using a rescue
(boot) floppy, Thanks again for that warning Mark!
