Dave,
 
     I also had that problem of mounting root twice.  After some looking, I noticed that you are trying to mount proc (and to create the mtab file) first, but in the current setup, the filesystems are mounted as read-only (they don't get changed to read/write until the S20local_fs script is run, yet you are trying to write to the drives using the S15proc_fs script).  The process is backwards, I would rename the S20local_fs script to S15local_fs and the S15proc_fs to S20proc_fs. This will already have the filesystems mounted as read/write so that you can create the mtab file.  Hope this post is understandable :).

Hi,

Version 1.2 of the pocket linux guide is available from the linux 
documentation project web site at http://www.tldp.org/guides.html. This 
is just a minor bug fix that takes care of a typo in Chapter 3.

There is also a preview snapshot of version 2.0 that can be found on the 
pocket linux resource site at 
http://my.core.com/~dhorton/linux/pocket/html/2.0_preview/. Version 2.0 
is not finished and the preview will probably change fairly often. So 
far the only big improvement is that /etc/mtab is no longer a link to 
/proc/mounts. If anyone was experiencing the double root mounting 
problem that Daniel brought up a few days back, you may want to look at 
the 2.0 preview. Otherwise it's probably better to hold off a while.

Dave
