Did you follow the instruction on how to burn a ASL image onto a CD? If you did it, all you need to do is ensure that during bootup sequence on your computer, it boot from CD first.
I already have astaro installed and running, however, I want to be able to access any floppy or CD in case I need to make some copying.
I can not find any "/cdrom" listed but created one. Though, "/floppy" is listed but I do not get any listing by typing "ls" when a diskette is inserted.
The commands I used were: mount -tiso9660 /dev/scd0 /cdrom mount -tmsdos /dev/fd0 /floppy mount -tvfat /dev/fd0 /floppy
I always get the error message that the kernel does not the fs types I was trying to use: iso9660, msdos, vfat.
In that case, how can I copy files from the floppy or CDROM to the hard disk on astaro
To ao and JiaJunFei, on ASL you cannot mount Cd-rom and floppy drives for some security reasons, to copy anything you want you can use "scp" for ASL 2.0xx,in the new version 3.xxx there is this one in ASL.
hi, "scp" is a good little program that you can install in win machine, follow the how-to (you can reach on the net all to resolve your problems, make a search on altavista for "scp").
ciao P.S.: if you wait for 3.200 final you don't need to learn "scp",it is inside.
Long shot but ... Here are my plans: 1. edit lilo_config and change boot=/dev/hda to /dev/hda7 ( / partition). 2. run lilo -r /emergency/boot to install lilo into root partition. 3. dd if=/dev/hda7 bs=512 count=1 of=/linux.bin which will create boot sector I need for using with win2k ntloader. 4. change lilo_cong back to oroginal and rerun lilo. 5. use scp to copy linux.bin to my other pc. 7. install win2k on second hard drive and put linux.bin on c: and add line to boot.ini to point to this file. All of this should work for me since I'm using asl for my home net and testing and run several os on same machine.
Just an idea but maybe it will be helpfull to other people...
