# Right.  That is one point that I don't get about MiNT.  Why have an

	In the case of an auto-generated one, it is probably for 
convenience of unix ports (but then, things cruising through fstab are 
probably going to break on other points anyway). It'd be clever if it was 
popped out as an option (to make porting easier for those who need it), 
but ignored by any TOS-aware applications. *Shrug*
