I rebuilt things, and this time, my primary & only DOS partition
will be big enough - 60 meg.
But now my reinstalled SLS /etc/fstab line that mounted the older
[<32meg] one ok gives an error.
I RTFMed both fstab and mount's man pages. Then I tried
mount -vf -t msdos /dev/sda1 /dos
and it told me it had mounted it, thank you. So I removed the
'fake' switch, and got
unknown error 26240
and no mount ;-{.
Is mount DOS files system limited to small ones? [Did I miss this
somewhere?]
I also looked at mtools. Does it have a way to read a partition? It
makes references to floppies, but I didn't see it outright saying "No
partitions please, We're Linux" anywhere ;-}
