the > you are seeing is expecting another command in order to run.  are
there any crazy other characters included in the file names you are trying
to copy/move?

try entering the ; when you get the > and see what it does.

example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]cd /mnt/win/whatever
>;

Subject: stupid question


Sorry,
I've googled with no luck I just know this is a stupid question but.

why is it that I can browse my FAT32 partitions nautilus but when I cd
into a directory on a FAT32 partition or try to mv or cp something from
a dir on a FAT32 partition I get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]cd /mnt/win/whatever
>

or this

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]cp /mnt/win/whatever/filename /home/nick/filename
>

I'm just stuck with a '>' and I can only escape with CTRL-c it seems

thanks
nick
