Login

[Modified Tuesday, Dec 31st 2002 by Wojciech]

To use a floppy disk drive :
----------------------------
Log in, put the floppy in the drive and use the 'mtools' set of commands:
% mdir a:
% mcopy a:file1.txt ~/
% mdel a:file1.txt
% eject
To get more information on the mtools commands, type:
% man mtools

To use a CD-ROM drive :
-----------------------
To access your CD-ROM, you may now 'cd' into the '/cdrom/' directory. Once you have finished using your CD-ROM, 'cd' (change your working directory) to the outside of '/cdrom/', and type 'eject' to unmount, and to eject your CD-ROM.
