How do I save files to my hdd? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to DSL and I eventually want to build a Linux box, but first I am trying to understand it. Also, any links would be helpful.When I save it goes on to ramdisk, but isn't that a temporary file? Thanks Posted by mikshaw on April 07 2005,03:49
you have to first mount the drive. Can't get into details of this until we know what filesystem is on the partition in question, but basically the command is "mount /dev/<partition> /mnt/<mountpoint>".At this point, assuming the partition is successfully mounted, you can access the partition through its mountpoint (/mnt/something). < http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/mount.8.html > < http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man5/fstab.5.html > |
