MX Linux Forum

Sorry for the long delay in replying. But, I bought a new hard drive to try out and had to wait for its arrival and then time to do the install. Unfortunately, during the process of removing the monitor I nicked an edge, enough to pretty much ruin the monitor. sigh. So, I bought a newer toughbook ...

/dev/sda2: LABEL="rootMX23" UUID="611a97a7-33e9-4c26-93da-bdce9c0b1e39" BLOCK ...

#Entry for /dev/sda2 :
UUID=611a97a7-33e9-4c26-93da ...
