I have downloaded the 0.6.2 version of DamnSmallLinux and I have burned it in a cd.
I want to mount my NTFS partitions but I don't want (yet  :D ) to make an HD-Install.

How can I do it (please explain in detail)?

unless damn small linux has some sort of safeguard in place this should work nicely, but a short warning, linux and ntfs don't always play nicely, you can pretty much always mount it and read from it just fine, but writing to an ntfs partition from linux can cause corruption to the ntfs volume or files contained on it.

another quick thing, I will enclose commands in ' don't type the ', they are just there to define the beginning and end of the command

After having said that, first open a terminal window (right click on the desktop, go down to "XShells" and choose "Root Access") if you enter the terminal window a different way than described be sure to run 'sudo su' before using the commands I give below

now type in 'mkdir /mnt/hda1' (you will want to change hda1 to whatever the appropriate volume is, I'll keep going with hda1, but remember to change it depending on the volume)

then type 'mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1'

to access your newly mounted partition use 'cd /mnt/hda1'

and away you go.

Thanks, I used the mount.app but I wanted to learn the manual way as well  :)
