wats the way for copying files to & fro either using a pen drive or a floopy
need help on this as i am noob in linux
can anybody help me ?
best would be to use a pen drive ...i guess
i dont know how to mount it
help out guys
Insert ur pen drive, and tell the output of command "dmesg".
thnx mediator
sorry for my ignorance wr do u type this dmesg ? in a new terminal ?
thnx again mate
we have many people sharing the machines @ lab,people tend to delete the project files by mistake or remove on purpose
i have a folder inside which contains my project files
is thr any way to protect this ? such that it does not get listed in the LS command ?
thnx for the help people

Yes thats the procedure. To protect ur files u can make a new account for u, where u can save ur files!
just for transferring files to & fro to a pendrive."dmesg" will do ?
Actually RH8 is very old! U shud get newer distros which automount the pendrives just like windows.
Neways, dmesg will tell to what device, like sda,sdb etc, the pendrive points at!!
