question about putting a mounted share directory in / ??

[Santiago Erquicia]

Hi,

I don't know about the other things but to avoid those checking every
time you boot, you need to edit the file /etc/fstab and in the line that
says something like 

/dev/hda5 /windows vfat defaults,user,auto,showexec,umask=0 0 0

make sure that the last two numbers are 0.
