Fstab
34
The lines ending on a backslash need to be connected, they just did not fit here on the same line. I
put all the files into the directory /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi and added that directory to the
X11 font path in /var/X11R6/lib/XF86Config. Notice that changing the encoding information is
really a hack, but it works for Netscape.

Fstab
Files:
/etc/fstab
The file /etc/fstab contains information about mount points for the file systems. For a file
system to be mounted at boot time it has to be listed here. It also allows to specify properties other
than the defaults. Finally, all systems listed here can be mounted by just typing mount followed by
the mount point. The lines contain device, mount point, type, options, and two numbers. The first
number is used for backup purposes, it gives the number of days between backups, should be zero
for swap partitions. I do not use any programs that use that number. The second number is used
by fsck as a pass number. The program fsck checks existing file systems. If there is more than
one file system, then the pass number can be used to specify the order in which they are checked.
By default file systems are checked in parallel. The root system must have pass number 1, and
two file systems on the same drive should have different numbers. The options are as follows. rw
for read/write, ro for read only, suid to allow set-user or set-group bits to be effective, dev to
interpret special character or block devices, exec to allow for executable binaries, auto to be able
to mount it with mount -a, user to allow ordinary users to mount it, async to provide buffering
of read/write, and defaults stands for rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async. Notice
that DOS partitions have no SUID or SGID bits.
