Copying to a floppy; www connection
Silly-Newbie questions: 1. How do I read what is in a floppy - Cdrom? I have tried ls -F /dev/fd0 but shows nothing? 2. How do I copy a file to a floppy? 3. Follow-up with previous questions regarding www connection: After reviewing my ppp.log I discovered that some times the connection reaches the point of sending my password to the att network (ip), after that there is hangup. The password is correct (case and all), so the problem is not there. What could the problem be? Thanks, Antonio.

You must first mount the floppy or CDROM as a directory, then just treat it as part of your file system. example: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt means mount the floppy disk /dev/fd0 thats a msdos file type as the directory /mnt. You can use any directory mount point as long as it's created prior to mounting the floppy or CDROM. Try man mount for more info. 2. How do I copy a file to a floppy? mv filename.file /dir you mounted to/filename.file Or get TkDesk cranked up and see what your doing ;-) John 3.

Make that cp filename.file /dir you mounte to/filename.file mv will move the file ;-) John Or get TkDesk cranked up and see what your doing ;-) John 3.

You must first mount the device--either floppy or cdrom. read the mount man pages. Man pages are our friend. 2. How do I copy a file to a floppy? mount the floppy (you read the mount manpage, right?) ;-) cp foo.bar /floppy or /dev/floppy 3.

How did you configure your connection? (pppconfig,etc..) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= dyer[EMAIL PROTECTED] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
