[NTLUG:Discuss] Saving files to disc

[Kyle_Davenport@compusa.com]

I have these lines in /etc/fstab depending on which filesystem I want:
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             ext2    noauto,user          0 0
/dev/fd0                /a                      msdos   noauto,user     0 0

I do "mount /a" for a dos diskette or "mount /floppy" for an ext2 diskette.
You need rw perm's to the mount point
"mount /dev/fd0 /mnt" will autodetect the filesystem type.
Having the mount point under /mnt allows you to use the auto-mounter
(windows-like behavior if not cached).
Regardless of filesystem type, all file commands (ls, rm, cp, mv) will work.

  in /etc/fstab, add user to the permissions.  (man fstab)

  or use mtools  (man mtools)

  mdir a:

  mcopy filename.xls a:
