The problem is that when Suitcase is loaded at startup time, your other volumes haven't been mounted yet, and Suitcase can't find them. You need the ForceMount INIIT, which is available from sumex-aim. If you run ForceMount before Suitcase, Suitcase will be able to find your font and DA suitcases on other volumes. _______________________________________________________________________________ Dean Yu | E-mail: mystone@mondo.engin.umich.edu Patches 'R' Us | Real-mail: Dean Yu A Division of Cyberite Systems | 909 Church St Apt C | Ann Arbor, MI 48104 I'm not the voice of Reason, much | Phone: 313 662-4073 less the voice of Cyberite. | 313 662-4163 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
