Quickset-specific: no /mnt/sda3 in Rox filer, why? [SOLVED]

[ShellyCat]

Hello, I am new to the whole Puppy scene and so if my questions are very beginner, please forgive me.

Desktop Computer Setup:

• No Windows here.
• Absolute Linux installed to /dev/sda1.
• In Absolute, /dev/sda3 (formatted as reiserfs) is mounted to "/root" in which are "Documents" and similar folders.

How I'm using Puppy:

• The pupsave file is stored on /dev/sda3.
• I deleted the old pupsave from the regular Puppy before testing Quickset to avoid conflicts.
• Now I also save other files from CD for faster boot. ("SFS" files?)

Behavior under normal Puppy:

1. sda3 does not mount by default.
2. When I mount sda3, the drive icon on the desktop gains a green dot.
3. It is found in Rox filer as "/mnt/sda3."
4. I read/save personal files from/to "/mnt/sda3/Documents."

Behavior under Quickset Puppy Linux (pup-431JPqs3.iso):

1. Drive icon on the desktop has a yellow dot already.
2. There is no "/mnt/sda3" in Rox filer, so I cannot list, read, or write files to sda3.
3. I cannot unmount and mount sda3 normally in order to use it.

The end result is I cannot access another Linux's files or save all personal files to the same disk partition as the pupsave file. So instead, I must use the same partition I use for Absolute's "/" directory. This is not good...I like my documents, photos, etc to always be in their own partition for safety (even separate disk, when a computer has 2 disks).

Questions:

• What does the yellow dot mean?
• Does Quickset Puppy do this on purpose to the partition where the pupsave file resides?
• If so, why? (This didn't happy on regular Puppy.)
• I just thought now...I also started (with Quickset) saving other files from CD here for faster boot ("SFS "files?)...is this causing it?
• Again, why?
• So will I have to create a new partition (or use some other partition) for the SFS and pupsave files?
• Or is this a bug in Quickset?

If your save file is loaded from the same partition as your personal data then it should already be mounted? - try looking in /mnt/home

[Béèm]

A yellow dot indicates that the partition is un-mountable.
This is the case for the partition on which the save file is.
And as Stu90 says, you'll find it as /mnt/home.

So if your save file is on /dev/sda3, it is mounted at boot as /mnt/home.

Thank you both very much!
