[Trinux-talk] Newbie Question: Hard Drive Woes

[Aaron L. <le...@th...>]

First, I must say that I am very impressed with Trinux and I hope that
the project continues to live on and develop.

I have been looking everywhere for a bootdisk that will load a linux
operating system with network support wherever I go.

I am sort of new at Linux so please excuse my ignorance.

I am trying to mount hard drives. I know that it should be trivial and
seems like everyone else can do it but me. Is there some file I need to
modify?

Here is what I am trying right now:

1. Boot using Trinux (network distro)
2. After successfully leasing an IP from the DHCP server, and getting the
files, I log in.
3. I try "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt" --> "/dev/hda1 unknown device"

I have tried this on two computers where /dev/hda1 should be NTFS or
FAT32. For the NTFS I loaded the ntfs.o kernel module after bootup.

Am I doing something blunnderingly stupid?

Thanks,
-Aaron Lee
