DSL Embedded :: mounting a file
Hi all im very new to linux and new to dsl, iv been playing with suse10 for the last 3 days on the home pc but im after a smaller package to eventually mount onto a cf disk to run a computer inside a car.
DSL seems the package to do this, but what im wondering is.
im currently playing with dsl embedded in windows 
its not so automated as suse but then again its not one dual layer dvd either 
how can i mount a folder full of music from my windows desktop so i can play it in dsl embedded,
when this system is in the car it will have dsl on the cf card and to transport music/films via a dvd drive or preferably with a usb key and to play them from these media, (maybe with cd's / dvd's to trasport the media to a second cf card to avoid vibration problems)
ok reading around tell me if im right
i can mount a file/hdd in Qemu, to get to the qemu i use ctrl alt and 2, but whats the mount command once im there and is there anyway to automate this into the load up of dsl/qemu?
i cant believe no one knows this, i realise to u linux gurus this is a simple thing to do, but for someone who has grown up on dos and microsoft linux is a confusing world when ur starting out. i read lots of info and command lines from a link posted in another question here, but it doesnt make sense to me can anyone help me with the command line for it?
Actually this isn't necessarily a simple thing to do, even for a linux expert. Qemu is an emulator, and its hardware is emulated. What this means, as far as i know, is that you can't mount partitions in the same way that you would in a typical native linux system. As I understand it, Qemu doesn't allow mounting of your harddrives, but rather mounts a virtual drive that is created within the emulated filesystem. I don't know from experience...just what i've read here.
loool just to confuse me even more ill go for a cd boot n get it that way, just hope my wifi works ok
