Mount the vfat partition like this.
mount -t vfat -o defaults,user,umask=002,gid=100,unhide,quiet /dev/hda1 /mnt/e

I even installed the whole RedHat distribution, but trying to compile a
program like hello.C with gcc hello.C an error message is saying
that iostream.h contains errors - much errors. I capitulated.

The only built-in serial comm program that I can infer you are talking
about is 'tip'. Yes, it has primitive upload/download capability as long
as you're only transferring a text file or equivalent. Is this the one
you're talking about?

Hi there,
I found that my app (KDE) now need the following library
libstdc++.so.2.9.
How can I add this back to slackware. First I don't remember whether I
have omitted this during the first time installation.
and now I don't even know where to download the library.
Could anyone pls shed some light on this.
Thks in advance.

Yes, go to RH's site. You'll want 'rawrite' and the boot.img (maybe
'supp.img' too) files to make a boot disk. Also consider using loadlin (sp?)
for booting from diskette rather than lilo.

I agree with you Steve.
There sure seems to be an aversion for people to use any kind of search
mechanism. Even if people don't know about http://www.dejanews.com, they
surely have heard about other search engines.
It doesn't seem anyone even reads any of the files that came on their CD
if that is what they have.
There have only been a couple of instances were the problem I was having
have not been discussed in the past.

: Yes. You need to build support for this into the kernel and read the
: documentation that accompanies the kernel with regard to this facility.
And before this you will also need to speak to your ISP to make
sure that they will support this.
