Hi Everyone!

I have just installed Knoppmyth on an old laptop to test it out. I have all my media stored on an NTFS HD and would like to transfer a few files to the laptop video and a few audio files to the Mythbox. I have a 4 GB USB flash that can be used as a "middle-man".
How can I transfer files from the USB to the HD folder that Myth looking at for media files?
I have no previous experience with Linux but am not afraid of learning something new.

when you plug the flash in, you should be able to access it at /dev/sda1 (assuming you don't have a sata drive)

anyway, try this:



You should see your files. If not, try sda0, sda2, etc.

Where do I enter that code?

How do I then transfer what is on my flash to the HD?

You just enter each line individually on the command line. If you are in the mythtv frontend, just press ctrl-shift-f1 and then enter your login (root) and password. Then enter the items I posted before. Once you see the files you want then just do this:

for video:


for audio:

In R5E50 the mounting is handled automatically. See the Upgrade Hints sticky posting under "known changes" for details.

ctrl-shift-f1 is not taking me to any options to enter the root login info. It has no response at all.

Also, can I copy multiple files at a time using an *.avi as the file name?

I'm pretty sure kmkittre meant Ctrl-Alt-F1

Absolutely.
