Trying to access msdos in debian 2.1
Hi everybody,
I am trying to install Precision Insight's NeoMagic X Server so
that I can get my IBM Thinkpad 390E up and running with X Windows. At
this point in time, I do not have internet access on this laptop. On
another computer (Win98), I downloaded the x server onto a floppy with a
msdos filesystem. Then, I inserted the floppy into my Thinkpad and
attempted to mount the floppy by typing:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
I then got a message saying that the kernal in Slink does not support the
MSDOS filesystem. I also tried saying it was an ext2 filesystem just to
see if it would work (and it didn't). How can I get this file copied off
of my floppy to my /var/tmp directory?
Thanks,
Bryan Walton
