Hi Danny, The easiest way to accomplish this is by modifying /etc/fstab. You'll notice at the end of the line for your vfat partition, there are two numbers separated by spaces. Make them both 0 and 0 (but only for yours vfat partition!). ex. taken from my /etc/fstab <blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote"># /dev/hdc1 -- converted during upgrade to edgy UUID=251E-1C0F /media/windows vfat defaults 0 0 </blockquote> Notice: You'll need to be root to edit this file. Run the command "gksudo mousepad /etc/fstab" to accomplish this. You'll also want to make a backup of this file in your home directory - just in case you make a mistake, you can copy it back over. Hope this helps. If you run into any trouble, let us know and we'll try our best to help you. Thanks, Cody A.W.

When I boot up Xubu, it takes over fifteen seconds to check each of my three VFAT partitions, which is much too long IMO. How do I make Xubu to only check ext2/3 partitions during boot up? I'll leave VFAT maintenance to XP-based system tools. Thanks. -- ______________________________________ Ipsa scientia potestas est Danny Boy uses: Opera - The Fastest Browser on Earth <a href="http://www.opera.com/download/">http://www.opera.com/download/</a> ______________________________________ -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com </a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Firefox (<a href="http://www.getfirefox.com">www.getfirefox.com</a>) -- A browser you can trust
