hi KenJackson !!

you are correct. i intentailly wrote umask=0222 coz with this only root can write and normal users can read only...
actually i dont want that src2006 mess up anything...... if his windows main partition (having windows OS) is FAT32 then it can be very problematic........
in starting, its good to set umask=0222, later when one know everything, umask=0

thanx !

Casper hi!!!!
I edited fstab as you directed and saved the file after pressing enter at the end of the last line. Then I rebooted in to Linux. But where will I find those partitions? I mean how to access them?
I did all these operations by loging in as root.

So two more things remain now, ADD/REMOVE and Internet connections.

Regarding Add/remove I've gone through the threads you suggested.
This portion is not clear to me. What do you mean by reediting? And if I change the files as you suggested will I be able to acces & Instaall updates from net?

Thank you very much again. Honestly I really can't thank you enough.
Please keep on helping me on this unresolved issues.

One small thing: It seemed that none of the included players are able to play mp3 files. So I think I need some 3rd party programs. When I first started visiting this forum I remember about a page of this forum listing all the downloads- something like a directory. But can't find the link now . If you have that please let me know.

Thanks again.

PS: My windows in NTFS .

Sam Liu

are you using gnome or kde?

src2206

I've installed both KDE and GNOME. though i've used gnome till now.

hi src2206 !!

your partitions are available in /media/folders......
these folders are created by you as mount points......
double click and check if you able to see windows contents in those.......

hi src2006 !!!

you will be able to install updates from internet any time... re-editing means you have changes files to there original state..... i copied all the files to a new loaction... then edited them... before using internet, i just paste original one to the yum.repos.d

yes ! you can use xmms or mplayer.....
you can install it using yum.....

$ yum -y xmms xmms-mp3
its like window's winamp..... ( same GUI )
i hope internet connection will be working very soon.. i am looking into it.....

Hello my dear friend. Its so heartening to see your post .
Now to feedback of your teachings :
Mounting:
I followed your directions and after rebooting I could not find any of my partitions! So I restarted and pressed 'I' to opt for interactive logon. Then I found out that it is showing a massege "Mounting other file systems /media/folder_name" then "the destination folder does not exits" and ultimately "[FAILED]". So I logged in as a root and checked out that the previous two folders created to mount are still there at /media, but empty. So I deleted that folder and created a new one named "folder_name" and rebooted opting interactive logon. This time only the first windows partition mounted but none other mounted .
So what to do? Moreover can't I auto mount different partitions in different named folders?

xmms or mplayer - ADD/Remove

As directed by you in this thread http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red...s-dvd-but.html
I changed the files (3 instances for each file) but still the Add/Remove software is giving me the same error.
Itried to install xmms using but it only listed all the options available with this command. Then I tried to use the following command:
- this gave result "error did not find a valid base url core:repo". So what's next?

Can't I do all these installations in GUI mode? I know I'm not talking like a true linux user but I'm completely new so....!

hi src2206 !!!

create folders in media with different names.......

/dev/hdaX /media/folder_name ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hdaX /media/folder_name vfat rw,defaults,umask=0222 0 0

here folder_name is folder you created in media... different names..........

check /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo file
there is a "#" sign before baseurl line under [core], remove it......

$ yum -y install yumex
this is GUI of yum.....

read this article......
