It's 31 Dec 95 04:33, We'll return to garyc@news.ipswich.gil.com.au and All's discussion of New User Questions ga> - I can mount my dos partition under linux (mount -t msdos etc) but ga> how do I make this an automatic process during boot. Make an entry in /etc/fstab for the DOS drives. The existing entries should give you a clue as to how to do this. ga> - I have a CD-ROM that apparently doesn't work with any linux driver. ga> All autodetects fail, and I've tried ALL the common drivers. Any ga> suggestions? If there's no support, even after re-compiling your kernal, you may need to start Linux under DOS and use the MSCDEX driver (there is a way to do this). ga> - How do I mount my floppy drive. Does it HAVE to be mounted under ga> /mnt or can I use /floppy You can use whatever you like AFAIK. :-) ... c:\windows c:\windows\run c:\windows\crash -- | Fidonet: Tony Langdon 3:632/367.2 | Internet: tlang@freeway.DIALix.oz.au
