Re: CDROM with DOSish hidden files?
Hi,
if you have a windows station on your network and samba installed on your
linux box, put your cd-rom in cd-rom drive of the windows station, share
the drive on the network and mount the drive on your linux box. To mount
the drive you can used smbmount (provided by the debian package ksmbfs),
smbclient or rumba (not available in debian package yet but rumba is the
better choice). On user level, you can used smbclient smbclient didn't
mount a drive, it's more like a ftp connection. On su level you can
use smbmount, smbmount isn't available in user level because smbmount used
kernel code, so if smbmount crash, the kernel crash... rumba is like
smbmount but without kernel code, no risk to crash linux. To use this
commands, the syntax is:
smbclient \\\\host_name_\\drive_name_on_the_network
ex: smbclient \\\\young\c-young
smbmount //host_name/drive_name_on_the_network mount_point
ex: smbmount //young/c-young /young
/young must be a empty directory on the linux box
rumba //host_name/drive_name_on_the_network
ex //young/c-young /young
/young must be a empty directory on the linux box
Good luck,
