Re: Mounting / Netscape problems

[RedEyes]

How do I mount a DOS partition? I've tried to, but I always get "can't find in fstab or mtab"..

Also -- This just started.. All of a sudden, Netscape won't show any pages. When I click on a bookmark or type in a URL, it loads the page & when it says "Document: Done" there's just a gray screen... The only reason I'm getting this message through is because I'm using lynx. I've tried a number of pages, but all result in the gray screen.. Nothing there.. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a better browser out there (PLEASE?!)

Thanks in advance :o) Also -- Thanks for the quick responses to my other questions, the help is very much appreciated!

To mount a DOS-partition:
1) Create the directory where you want it mounted, eg "mkdir /mnt/C"
2) Type "mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/C" , replace hda1 with the actual partition on your system.

If you want this permanent, edit /etc/fstab.
Just remember to use "vfat", not MSDOS as filesystem or long filenames will be truncated.

Netscape does that to me at times. It happens when I have more then one Navigator page open at the same time.
I usuall kill the process with the smallest pid and then it starts working. I don't know if its a bug or what but I get that pretty regular. I do ps -aux | grep netscape then kill (pid).

You'll probably have to use kill -9. The sucker doesn't die easily.

Thanks for the replies :) I appreciate it..

Once more however -- As far as mounting the DOS partition.. That is, I can mount my DOS "C" drive just fine -- But I have an extended DOS partition (D :) that I'd like to mount... When I try it, Linux returns an error...
