| Quote (mikshaw @ Dec. 29 2004,01:44) | open up a terminal and type 'less /etc/fstab', or use a text editor to open up this file.
/etc/fstab contains all of the partitions which were detected by DSL. There should be lines containing such devices as /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, /dev/fd0. These are partitions and drives which can be mounted without additional mount options. For example, if you have a line containing /dev/fd0, this is your floppy drive. Typing 'mount /dev/fd0' should mount your floppy as long as there's a readable disk in the drive.
You can also look into the /mnt directory for mountpoints. These are directories where the devices will be mounted, and are how you will access the devices once they are mounted. |
OK.... When I type:
mount /dev/fd0 what returns is:
/dev/fd0: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
and when I typed:
mount /dev/hda
It says that it did mount it. However I can't find where to go to look at the files. In your post you said, from what I gather, that I should be able to go to /mnt and find hda and then I assume I should be able to type ls and get a listing of the files that are there, however when I go there, all I can see are:
backup.tar.gz and lost+found
which is not what I know to be in that directory. Am I doing something wrong or am I misunderstanding what you are telling me?
Thanx for you patience,
Crazy
