little history:I've been v lightly dabbling in linux for years with v little success. Problems with installs, or just not the functionallity (for the effort I put in) as my Windows system. I have moved rooms & don't have my PC to hand. I have an xbox set up as a media center & with xDSL installed, I can surf & IRC - I'm really pleased with this solution. currently xDSL installed & running well. (frugal) so, we're dealing with an XBOX, but this could be an issue with normal PCs too (? - apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place) However, I would like to mount 1) my 64MB MuVo &/or 2) my external USB HDD. (both formatted soem flavour of FAT) I have no doubt the USB bit is installed ok, but I understand I need some scsi drivers/modules installed too. I removed the "noscsi" from my linuxboot.cfg, but this hasn't helped me. this topic has some relevance: < http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....hl=scsi > but there's also reference to compiling kernels - this scares me. There is no "/proc/scsi" dir in my setup. where do I get modules? & how should I apply them? |
