| Post subject: | Filesystem Navigation |
I got through my installation and now I'm trying to get my wireless nic running. As a linux newb I'm doing a lot of reading to get familiar with the OS but I'm still having some problems moving around. Using the bash shell I can't find where the dvd rom is as well as a usb 1 gig jump drive. The dvd was used to install Knoppmyth and when in the bash shell I can see it recognize the jump drive and set it up as sda1 however there is no directory sda1 anywhere I can find (only a filename). I know how to use the basic getting around commands, ls cd and such in the bash shell, however I can't find a filesystem tool in the GUI (like konqueror) which might make it easier for a newb like me to get around. Can anybody fill me in on how/where to find either my dvd or jump drive? Thanks, Kamy |

Okay, I found Lircnav and can now navigate a little easier, however I still can't locate my jump drive or dvdrom drive. MythTV can record cds so the system knows the drive is there so I'm confused. How can I bring in the .inf files I need for ndiswrapper to use to set up wireless network card. Is it a drive mounting issue? |

The drive is mostly likle /dev/hdc. /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd are mostly symlinked to it. You can access the drive via /mnt/cdrom (put in a disk and ls /mnt/cdrom). Generally speaking, "external filesystems" are mounted in *nix. If you want you want to mount your USB device: Code: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 You'll have to umount the device before disconnecting it. There are various way "bring" a file over. Search of scp or Samba.
