yes.... I did edit fstab. I'm sure I created the label on the usb. How do I
see what that setting is? Did you see the message about the permissions
being wrong and me wondering what I should set them to? Would 700 be good
or do you recommend something else?
here is fstab:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=cc83628a-2b28-40b4-8f02-c8a818ef55e9 / ext4
errors=remount
-ro 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=0653ee3e-f753-42a3-a6b6-dc2948cb8859 /home ext4 defaults
0 2
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=31eb4a2e-cf07-47d8-9f0a-2b12795b32fc none swap sw
