/etc/fstab (END)

----------------------------------

the line

/dev/hda7       /var/log        ext3    defaults                        0

is my suspect :-)

Is it O.K to remove that line??? or should I leave it there??? is that
enough? or should i be removing somehing else also some where else??

Thankyou so much once again :-))

kind regards

Siju
