When you said you can see your partitions, I assume you mean you see them inside /etc/fstab. So the next will be to check whether they are mounted. Open an XTerminal and type "mount". Do you see the partitions and their corresponding mountpoints? The should look something like "/dev/hda1 on /mnt/hda1 type vfat (rw)". If you don't see these, the partition is not mounted.
To mount the partition, use the dock app at the lower right side of your desktop. There are 4 or 5 of them that automatically load at boot-up. The one you need has an image of the floppy drive and has three buttons below it (a long button with zipper icon, and two arrow buttons). Use the arrow buttons to select the partition you want to mount, and use the zipper button to mount/unmount.
Once you are sure that the partitions are mounted, determine the permissions for the partition. Use the emelfm to go to the /mnt directory and examine the ownership, group membership, and the read/write/execute flags. |
Thanks...Irom your post, I realized that my screen resolution was too large because I could not see anything in the lower right hand corner of the desktop. Whaen I changed to a lower resolution, I could see the control panel and was able to mount and unmount with ease!!!
No if I could just get the wireless card to work, I'd be in business...(BTW I did try a d-link cabled card to the router, but couldn't get that to work either...)
is there a guide to walk someone thru setting this up/ The distro I am using now worked pretty well using smb4k
