In Linux, partitions are not automatically mounted, same as they are in Windows. Except for the partitions that the OS itself creates, you will probably have to mount these extra partitions yourself (assuming the HD and Flash stick are already partitioned, and have file systems on them that are recognised by Linux. Also... with Red Hat 8, which is pretty old, you will probably not be able to mount NTFS partitions properly. If you have not already done so, read the man pages for 'mount', 'mkfs', and 'fstab', and do a little Googling on them as well. - -- - -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJKz/L4790tgvai6gRAj87AJ9U61J3ZKnMQtJcCf4PoDtyHGrPTQCg8iAh SYPjPzVsg1wLJBLsTwKAyYg= =dWOP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
