Make a directory (like /bin) and and your mount point to it. You can then access it as a mount point but see it in listings (ls). This is pretty much the same as mounting on UNIX boxes, with the exception that on UNIX you MUST have created a directory to mount to first.... Larry Hall lhall@rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
