That might make it impossible to properly thread (though I suspect if you
set your digest option to "mime", it will be just like replying to a
normal
email), but replying to the list from a text digest is as easy as replying
to me. Just reply to the list address and be sure to trim! Another
option
is to use a newsreader. I get the list via
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user (I hope I have the URL
right).

Then I think I see your problem. In fstab:
label=dyndata /dyntest ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
That last digit should be 2. ONLY your root partition should be mounted
in
pass 1. I don't generally mount by label & I don't use ext filesystems,
so
I can't be certain, but if it mounts fine after boot time, but not
_during_
boot, I think that has to be the problem.

I had brief hopes that you were the leader of the fabulous (and much
missed)
Payola$, but you spell your name wrong :-)

Strangely, I had exactly the same thought about the 1 and 2. I did exactly
as you suggest, but it did not work.
Then because I knew that it should work and because of the capital L in
mount (completely illogical) I tried:
LABEL= in capitals in fstab and to my astonishment with that single change
of case it now all works correctly.
Sorry to disappoint you, but Payola$ means nothing to me.
