I need some help in accessing the hard drive and the = cdrom. I tried to create a directory for the CDROM and the hdd1. Then = tried to mount using those directories. It did not access my hard drive = or the cdrom. The question is what do I need to do to gain access to = these two drives? Also does anyone out there have the source code and makefile for vi? = That is the editor I have used on other Unix systems. You may have = guessed that I was not a root super user :-) Thanks to all for your help. Regards Kenn Ward kennonward@netgazers.net
