Hello,
I hope it is allowed to ask stupid newbie questions.

I'm a windows user for years but now I want to learn a little bit more about linux. Finally I want to built a linux bootlable usb device with my personal applications.

I downloaded the iso and burned it.
I tested to boot from CD, from USB device with syslinux 2.11 (others failed, I don't know why), and from HDD (after installing). All worked fine.

But know I have a very stupid problem.

With fdisk I made the following partitions to my HDD:
(I did it in Linux - DSL)
hda1 : primary partion (with DSL installed)
hda2 : extended partition
hda5 : logical partition with the same size as the extended partition

Now I want to take a look at these partitions but I can't find them with emelfm.
The partitions are made because I can see them in fdisk.
When I start emelfm and go up the rootdirectory, I can see many names:
bin/
boot/
cdrom/
dev/
etc/

I thought with dev/ I can find my hdd.
After entering I see hundrets of filenames.
There are the names hda1, hda2, hda5 but there are other names hda10, hda11, ... too and all files have the same size of 0 byte.

How can I see the content of hda1 and hda5?

They're in /mnt and need to be mounted first.

For a frugal, if you want to access your partition that DSL is installed on, it is already mounted on /cdrom
