Well, I wonder what I did wrong. I can't get access to any msdos
partitions. I've had access before, although I always had to run
linuxconf to get them going. Now when I run linuxconf, the error log
says the msdos partitions are already mounted or busy. However, an ls
shows them to be empty (and they're not).
I'm logging in as root (I've got goodies to install, and now I can't
get to them!).
I suspect it has something to do with user settings, because now I
can't print either. I get an error that lpd isn't recognized or
something.
"mount -t msdos" returns for the "scratch" drive:
/dev/hdb8 on /scratch type msdos (rw, uid=0, perm=0)
With Windows, if things get this bad it usually means reinstalling the
OS. I suspect that isn't necessary here, but I don't have a clue
where to begin. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
