Im booting from a cd and i managed to mount both my usb (sda1) and Hard drive (hda1). However when i use Emelfm i dont have permissions to access them in mnt. Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong (im new to linux) i tried

Code Sample

chmod a+rwx /mnt/hda1

but i still couldnt read it from Emelfm. And when i tried to play my music files with xMMs it just skips through the list (i think its cos of the permissions

someone please help!

Thanks in advance
Brad

Did you mount them using the automounter on the right-side app bar? Open up a terminal and see if you are logged in as DSL or root, it will be the first half of the prompt.

1) You can't change permissions on a mountpoint that is mounted (just in case that's what you tried).

List the /mnt directory. There should be an /hda1 and an /sda1 which showed up during boot.

If so, try this:
yourbox$ sudo -u root mount -w /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
yourbox$ sudo -u root mount -w /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

If not, or if you get an error: "/mnt/xda1 does not exist"...

yourbox$ sudo -u root mkdir /mnt/hda1
yourbox$ sudo -u root mkdir /mnt/sda1

... then try the first commands.
