Beginner in Linux
Hi!!
I´m beginner in linux and having some difficuties:
My linux is installed in a HD with 406 MB with the following partins:
I think that the kernel version is 2.034.. but I´m not sure!!!
hda - Windows98 and Dos partions
hdb - Linux
296MB - Linux Native:
100MB - Linux Swap
10MB - Fat (I think so)
1- How can I write the Fat partion ?
2- How can I access my floppy drive ? (I access it from my win98)
3- How can I access my CD-ROM Drive ?
4 - How can I print ? My printer is HP 660C
5 - My monitor is LG StudioWorks and it isn´t in the list ... Is it a problem? How can I configure it?
I´ll appreciate any help!!!
Regards,
mrxz.

have you checked your fstab? If it is setup there the mount automaticly performed at boot.

I looked at fstab file and saw something like that :
there is other things, but cann´t remember now
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
/dev/cd /mnt/cdrom
Is it means that my floppy and CD-ROM are already mounted?
How can I do to access? Please note the error message when I tried to mount
mount -t msdos /mnt/dos /dev/hdb6 (my FAT partion) it brings me the followin error:
/mnt/dos is not a block device
The Fat partion isn´t in fstab, but when I did something likely with floppy it brings a similar error.

I finally made it.
I helpped very much ... but you passed me a misplaced syntax of mount.
The syntax that worked was:
to mount the FAT partion:
mount -t auto /dev/hdb6 /mnt/dos
and the others followed the same syntax!
(just changing the parameter!!!)
Thank you!!!!
