To access a USB storage device, (Christian web host) plug it
To access a USB storage device, plug it in, and Knoppix automatically adds an icon on your desktop for it! However, there s a caveat here. It mounts allfilesystemsas read-only so that you re going to have to change the USB driveto read-write first: 1.Click the terminal with the black screen icon on your panel. A terminal window appears. 2.Type su -to become the root (administrative) user. You re not prompted for a password. 3.Look at the new icon and see what was put in the brackets. For example, [sda1], which is the typical label for a USB drive. 4.Type mount -o remount,rw /mnt/driveto remount the drive asread-write. So, for example, mount -o remount,rw /mnt/sda15.Find where the files are that you want to copy off of your harddrive(s), using the GUI. If you have lots in lots of places, focus on one group for now and comeback and do another later. 6.Look in the Location bar for the folder the files are in. So, for example, if it says file:/mnt/hda1/web, the folder is /mnt/hda1/web. 7.Use the cdcommand to change to this directory in the command lineterminal. For example, cd /mnt/hda1/web8.Type lsto see the directory s contents. There they are! 9.Use the cpcommand to copy the file(s) you want to copy over. Some hints: To copy all files in this directory and all its subdirectories to/dev/sda1, type cp -r * /dev/sda1 To copy all the files in this directory but no subdirectories, type cp* /dev/sda1 To copy all files whose names begin with an a, type cp a* /dev/ sda1 You may want to bundle and compress the files first. In that case, use the program found in the main menu by choosing Utilities.Arkto do so and tell it to create the archive directly on the USB drive, which shows up on your desktop as Hard Disk Partition [sda1] (which refers to /dev/sda1 and /mnt/sda1). 380Part V:The Part of Tens
