you have to do 2 thing in linux, so it will mount the new partion

at first you have to create a mountpoint e.g.
mkdir /mnt/windows

or something similar, the name dont matter...
after this root will be able to mount this partion with

mount /dev/hda9 /mnt/windows
there /dev/hda9 must be replaced with the correct partioin number on your harddrive and /mnt/windows is your mountpoint

to get the partion mouted at every systemboot you need to do the second step:
ad a line like this to your /etc/fstab

/dev/hda9 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0 0 0

you can get a more detailed help with
man vstab
man mount

how to ....

Oopsy.....

:shock:

Actually, I needed to know how to untar a file which I figured out. It is

tar -zxvf yourfile.tar.gz...vow.

1) The probkem is I have an old version of amsn which does not work. I need to replace it with the new version of amsn downloaded recently. How do I replace it.

2) Any clues on how to make the sound working on kde. If I should reload some files related, how do I go about it.

soud card

No the sound card has not yet been detected.

I have an Intel, i810_audio. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio. There is one option of Play test Sound which when clicked does not work. Any sites which suggest a way out. Any clues guyz.

The Linux sound module for Intel 8x0 chips seems to be called:
snd-intel8x0

I do not know if a
modprobe -v snd-intel8x0
(as root) can load it without error.

Also
modinfo snd-intel8x0
seems to give a lot of parameters, I have absolutely no idea if any are mandatory.

Have a nice day!

Msg when modprobe is run

1) Following is the message when I run the modprobe command from the root

[root@nishith root]# modprobe -v snd-intel810
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-intel810
[root@nishith root]#

2) How can do a search for a file in the system. To take it further where would I see a list of all possible commands that work as system utilites like search for example.

loading drivers

WHen I run modprobe snd-card-intel810 or snd-intel810 oommand I get a messge saying that particular module is not found. Could it be that I would need to load the drivers of this sound card again. If yes, then will I find the driver on the net, If yes then where, if no then where else will I find it. If I don't need to load the sound driver again, then how else can I try to correct this sound error.

If i look in my moudules directory, i see an module called i810_audio, maybe thats the right module for you...

if you search a file via commandline use :

find <startingdirectory> -name <searchstring>

lsmod

I do not see a i810_audio among the list of modules wihich I got when I key in lsmod. Does this imply something.

Yes, it means that it is not loaded.

That why you should look in /lib/module/
in the sub-directory with the right Linux version number. There you need to find something about the sound in Intel 8x0 chips.

If there is nothing, look in your distribution if there is any package that would contain it. If there is really not any sound driver for i8x0 (which should not happen in a modern distribution), then try ALSA.

Have a nice day!
