Why do you do that stuff in the sudoers file? Is that so you don't need to be root to use them each time? I currently do everything in Xterminal as root (I use the sudo gainroot which I modded with the help of a Linux geek friend). I know it's not good to be root all the time and need to get out of that habit.

I left some comments in your blog. good work with the usb-powering hack (though I couldn't figure exactly how tou routed the + and - wires from the battery pack into the usb plugs).
I have a question concerning the automount: can you
#cat /etc/fstab
(as root I guess) and post the output here? perhaps that will give us some insight as to how to automount mass-storage devices. A nano running Linux and a N770 make a wonderful pair.

Hey gnuite - Want to round out those last steps?
in the blog, your references to the mount point should be
/home/user/MyDocs/nano
not
/home/usr/MyDocs/nano
Great help... thanks.

Now we need to mount a swap to a wifi mounted linux box (in case you get bored..)
You're the top page at Planet Maemo..

While it seems odd to mount a music player to listen to music, my son's first impression (b4 the 770 was available) was that it would be an excellent "carputer." DC power a 160Gig USB drive and you could wifi your stuff to the driveway... then use the 770 to "tramp" around the internet once you get there...

The the Carcomputer can Wifi it's own updates, and shut down.

The full command is:
sudo has to grant root privs to the command first 
Code:
sudo /bin/mount /dev/sda1 /home/user/MyDocs/mnt/a
