I know I am a newbie to Linux.

I know about smbtree, but I don't understand the share name and I don't know what to do with the smbtree commmand. And the thumb drive says it's driver is included in the Linux kernel, but how do I access it?

Also, what is 'mounting' a drive?

Thank you for your help

Billy

Your hard drive will most likely be "hda1"

to have a look at your hard disk open an xterm shell and type

sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

then type    mc

and use the midnight commander to look around in /mnt/hda1

to unmount it:

sudo umount /mnt/hda1

Your thumb drive is usually  sda1 and is mounted the same way.

Or you can go through the wmpanel on the side of the desktop - page through until you find the device you want - then click on the "screw" - green means it is mounted, black means it isn't (and if it flashes red, it can't mount - but you'll get a screeen saying why it can't)

Then browse using emelfm.   Hmmmm commandline or gui? :D
