mkfsk.ext2 and X problems

["Person, Rod" <RPerson@cvty.com>]

Hey, 

First, I'm at work and I had typed a nice long e-mail about my problems
and before I mailed it. My workstation crashed -- didn't I hear a rumor
that NT was stable. Only mine crashed and all I was doing was typing
e-mail!!!!

Anyway.....

I attempted to created a linux partition from a 40mb dos partition. I
did this....
		mkfsk.ext2 /dev/hda1

then in fstab

/dev/hda1 /dos ext2 default,rw 0 1

-- have to admit I winged this one!!! /dos was the name of the directory
on /dev/hda1 --- I think this maybe the problem.

It worked, until I shutdown for the night. On reboot, I had to run
fsck.ext2 and that repaired the problem until I shutdown....finally
after trying all type of stuff -- used cfdisk,fdisk etc. I used fdisk
and changed it back to dos. Now there is now problem except I need it to
be linux.

2) After, I did all that I tried to log in as a user in X and it would
not let me. From the way in failed I now in a problem that xf86config
will fix...resolution. But, I can still log in under root and it works.
Isn't everyones xf86config the same?

Rod.....
