Heyyo,
First off, I was converted to Firefox (not gonna mention any names, but you know who you are
), then? my boss tells me to check out linux cause he wants us to be linux specialists, and now? I'm like, a Linux convert. I already LOVE it compared to windows. But it's a little more confusing, and fellow Linux geeks? I need your help!
Ok, the version of Linux OS I've got on is RedHat's Fedora. It's core version 3.
I created a new user, I made it's main group as root, but it still won't let me do stuff like mount my other HD partitions. When I use the terminal it says: "mount: you must be a root user" I even logged into stuff that asks for your root password for System wise administration (which I'm guessing is the root login) but I still can't mount HD partitions...
I'm reading a book right now called "Running Linux" by some O'Donnald or something like that... and I havn't read that far, and I was hoping you guys could help me out by making me not have to read a whole chapter before understanding how to setup a new user by the terminal (this books old... all it knows is the original redhat linux
).
[EDIT]
Oh, and here's how my HD's are set up:
hda1 is my windows xp pro OS
hda2 is my fedora
hda3 is my linux-fileswap partition
hdb1 is where I keep all my files... format is ntfs.
and here's the command I'm using in the terminal to try and mount my main HD partition:
$mount dev/hda1 mnt/fle1
and even Firefox feels faster and cleaner than on windows... man, this conversion stuff's like, blowing my mind dude... o_O
