: Can somebody help me by sending in the syntax for mounting 98
make a directory ... e.g. /win98
Windows will be accesible thru this directory
Open /etc/fstab ....
add....
/dev/hda1 /win98 vfat defaults 0 0
where:
/dev/hda1.... is the device where windows is installed .
/win98 ..... is the temp directory thru which win98 will be accessed (mount
point)
vfat.... is the file system type of windows
add the others as well...
defaults... will use the defaults option for the vfat filesystem
0.... dump ( never dump)
0..... fsck order ( never check )
note : add all these in a single line
...follow the existing format U see in the file
after restart the filesystem will be auto mounted
If U do not want to mount it automatically (why ?) -
'mount /dev/hda1 /win98 -t vfat'
