Ok, we are still hunting a bit. Try these commands;

[root@localhost root]# ls -l /here/boot            <Enter>

[root@localhost root]# cat /here/etc/fstab                    <Enter>

Post the results.

Well, it's not a PCLinuxOS installation. Those are Mandriva kernel and initrd images.

Thanks for that OP. I had tried to Put Mandriva on the external HD but must have stuffed that up. What I want to do now is put PCLOS2010 on this HD so I just have a plain old dual boot with Win 7.

Done that successfully and now running fully updated PCLOS2010 and very pleased I am. OP, I can almost hear you laughing from here! You really are a gem and this site would be the poorer without you. Many thanks from this slightly autistic Ocker.

You're more than welcome. I'm not even laughing. Smiling a bit. ;D

What counts, in the end, is that you now have a working PCLinuxOS installation.  ;D

Absolutely right. And I have to say that at first blush PCLOS2010 appears to be the best yet release in the series.Printer, goes straight out of the box. Wireless = ditto. Internet and email = ditto. Camera same again. Having a bit of a prob getting it to talk to my mobile phone but I am sure I will be able to resolve that with a bit of a look around the forum. Thanks again.
