[Wylug-help] GRUB extra

[scott]

been looking at the man pages.

so if i add to my fstab

"/dev/sda5        /data       ext3       defaults         0,0"
(though i got the basics - i think; i didn't really understand the
numbers at the end.)

should this work? the partition i am adding will be fedora core6
installation     

or maybe if it's a one off, type this
"mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mnt/fedora"

are any of these correct?
