You should be using the 'mount' command, in this case mount -t msdos /dev/<whatever> <wherever> where <whatever> is the device that corresponds to your DOS partition, and <wherever> is an empty directory that you want to mount the filesystem on. > Also, do I always have to type a ./ before a command?

One that contains at least /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /usr/local/bin. > Dale Benzer -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
