You want the from dos/windows to linux howto available from www.tldp.org, search for it there. The command you want to get a directory listing is the ls command. If you installed the howtos package that comes with slackware, the howto is in /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO Use a program like less to view it. Typing less /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO should bring it up. Once in less, use page down or the spacebar to move page by page, use the letter q to quit the less pager. Hth.

In fact, I was only able to see files on my floppy by using the "mdir" command. Unfortunately, not even that seems to work for the cd drive at all. > I thought the linux was able to read dos/windows formatted disks? > If anyone can direct me to specific information/reading material regarding the use of disks and cds between a windoes and linux box, I would greatly appreciate it. > I'm currently using slackware 9.1. > -- Rob > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager at EU.org
