I would like to get a better mount but how? The mount version is util-linux-1.10.

The kernel has not recognized any more partitions like under 1.3.18. The numbers have not

changed. The table on this harddisc is and was :

sda1 DOS
sda2 extended
sda5 OS/2 HPFS
sda6 OS/2 HPFS
sda7 OS/2 HPFS
sda8 Linux native
sda9 DOS

But where can I get this version? My fdisk is 2.0a.
