I know, but in fact it's included in EasyMiNT and is definetly used by
some parts (drivers) of FreeMint/SpareMiNT such as fsck and nfs.xfs;
e.g. NFS needs an entry there when auto mounting a remote folder at boot time.

There are perhaps more "MiNT extensions" (SpareMiNT rpms) which use fstab,
but i found no general informations about that. Most times it's written
(hidden ;-)) in the related manpages, but there's no info like
"MiNT programs which uses fstab" anywhere. So i was not sure about this.
