Mike, you're certainly correct here.
Yet, even though it's basically an unrelated issue, I think the
'errors=remount-ro' should be the default behavior, i.e., should appear by
default for ext2fs paritions in /etc/fstab. I'd like to petition the
boot-floppies guys to change this.
Does anyone know why I should make the effort to do this? Or an easier
way to implement it?
