Hello all. I'm very green at Linux and unfortunately no one that I know is currently using it.
I'm having a little trouble understanding how to mount a drive. I have to physical hard drives and a parallel zip drive and I am dual booting with Win95. The primary HD has a single FAT16 partition and second HD has an extended partition with two logical drives also FAT16. Linux is also on the second HD (I'm still booting from a floppy BTW) and I'm using System commander as my loader. I've tried using the following command immediately after logging in as 'root': mkdir dos mount -t msdos /dev/hdb3 /dos I get an error that says the mount point doesn't exist. Also, i'm attempting to access the second logical drive (E in DOS). Is the syntax correct? What do I use to access the zip drive? The reason I want to mount the drive is to install the packages I downloaded. How do I run dselect again after going through the setup. One more. I have a Linksys EtherPCI II Lan card in my system. They say that I should choose the NE2000 driver. When I choose the driver and try to install it, setup says that the I/O address must be specified. I know what IRQ (9) the card is using and I can look in Windows for the I/O settings it's using (6400 starting) but I still can't install the driver. Any suggestions? TIA Cristov Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTW - If anyone could suggest a really good book I'd appreciate it. I have a copy of Linux In A Nutshell and it covers mostly command syntax. I'd like something along the line of a users guide. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
