Alright, so in /mnt i have:
/auto
/cdrom
/floppy
/hd
/hda
/hdb
/test

when i try to Mount hd it tells me:
"Mount: /dev/hda already mounted or /mnt/hda busy"
"Mount: according to mtab, /mnt/hda mounted on /KNOPPIX"
"Mount: can't find /mnt/hd in /ect/fstab or /ect/mtab"

when i try to Mount hda it tells me:
"Mount: /dev/hda already mounted or /mnt/hda busy"
"Mount: according to mtab, /mnt/hda mounted on /KNOPPIX"

when i try to mount hdb it tells me:
"Mount: /dev/hdb already mounted or /mnt/hdb busy"
"Mount: according to mtab, /mnt/hdb mounted on /KNOPPIX"

so how do i view my drives while running embeded?

In the embedded DSL you have two virtual drives:

-hda KNOPPIX/knoppix
-hdb qemu/harddisk

-hda contains files included in the distro. To access you can go into terminal and type ls /dev/hda and you will get a listing of the drive.

-hdb is a 60 MB virtual drive that is empty and is used to save data, add applications, etc. When you d/l a .dsl to hdb and then initialize it, it will save the data to this drive. To list the files in the hdb drive, type ls /dev/hdb.

Hope this helps,

So i can't view pre-exsisting hard drives?
EG: i have to net-transfer anything i wish to access to the virtual drives?

Your question is really a Qemu question and not anything under control of DSL. Qemu is a virtual machine with "sandbox" like environment and therefore native access to only its virtual environment. It has been posted many times in this thread about how to use Samba to get access outside of the sandbox to the real machine's hard drives. I also believe there are some new Qemu boot options to allow reading to "outside the sandbox".

You could access a physical hard drive in Qemu if the host was Linux, but on Windows it's very buggy and not recommended (well, I wouldn't recommend it).

By the way, having played a lot with Qemu and having appreciated the native networking capabilities, I must say it runs best on a Linux host.
