Help? > There is a very usefull command "mount" (check out man mount") To access device (floppy drive, hard drive) you have to mount them at some point -- empty directory (called mount point). In Debian the mount point for floppy drive is just /floppy, you can create directory like /dos for mounting win95 drive.
After that you just execute as *root* : mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy after that you can just cd /floppy and do whatever you want. Dont forget to unmount it! cd to somwhere out of the /floppy and execute: umount /floppy ^-- not a misprint! For hard drive you would have to do something similar: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /win ^^^^^^^^^ substitute for the correct device of your drive Alex Y. > > -- > TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > > -- _ _( )_ ( (o___ | _ 7 ''' \ (") (O O) / \ \ +---------------oOO--(_)--------------------+ | \ __/ <-- | Alexander Yukhimets [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | | http://pages.nyu.edu/~aqy6633/ | ( / +-------------------------oOO---------------+ \ / |__|__| ) /(_ || || | (___) ooO Ooo \___) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
