USB Stick Must Be Present At Startup


Posts: 10

Hello All,
i recently installed Simply MEPIS 3.3 and have found that
if i wish to use a "usb pen drive" than it must be present
at startup when the USB Devices are being detected,
otherwise i cannot use it. and even then if i unplug
the pen drive after startup, i cant use it until i restart MEPIS
again.

Regards, Mehtaw.

- Boot with the stick

- Boot with the stick plugged in.
- As superuser, (file manager, super user), edit the file /etc/fstab.
- Move the line that says /dev/sda .... up, so it is in the static section.

That's it...

Newbie or not Newbie, there's always a question
