Hi

I'm running DSL from my thumb drive using QEMU under Windows XP. Wondering, how do I mount the thumb drive from which DSL was loaded? so that I can save my stuff back into thumb drive.

I've tried mouting but failed.
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
mount: mount point /mnt/sda1 does not exist

Any ideas?

If you are using the standard dsl-embedded.zip from this site, then it comes with a 60MB virtual hard drive on which there is already a backup file. The backup/restore should be automatic. You can also mount hdb and store there
