if I leave the file system box empty it returns to the prior box that
states the partition could not be mounted, etc.
The various spelling; i.e. EXT3, ext3, etc. are examples of what I
tried in the file sytem box in the Mount Options box.

Hope this clarifies what I said previously


My guess is that you have separate partitions, and /var is on one of
those partitions. If so, you've probably fallen foul of bug #330705, to
which a workaround is available here:

Thanks Dave;

I already used your information about the work around, that is how I got
to the mount options box. I can not get past that to mount the various
partitions.

Thanks again from

Dave
