[K12OSN] OT: Damn Small Linux (DSL) Question

[Doug Simpson]

Here is how to fix that. . .

First off, you must run commands as root, which isnte really available 
on DSL, so put sudo in front of every commend you run.

Examle:

sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

will mount the first IDE hard drive and shoud give you access to it.  
Just remember to issue sudo before every command.

Works for me.

Exception: NTFS filesystems.  DSL doesn't have support to write to NTFS 
filesystems yet. (I have never needed to write there, just usually 
recover data from crashed drives.)
