Ha! First you did it; then I did. Yes, I meant 5.
assuming you meant /dev/hda5 all along, i have a question here: how can i mount /dev/hda5 onto /tmpusr when the "/" folder has not got that much space? am i missing something here?
Because "/tmpuser" is a "mount point", pointing to an entirely different partition, not a directory full of files on the partition containing the name of the mount point.
i am using debian like i said - i can boot from the debian cd (i also have a bootable floppy) - is this ok?
It can be done with a Debian CD, but not nearly as easily as with a LiveCD. So much so that I'm not even going to begin thinking about what's needed.
