using CD and usb disk drives
To use a usb drive:
$ mount /media/usbdisk $ cd /media/usbdisk
When you are finished, be sure to umount /media/usbdisk. Failure to do so puts data on the device at risk. Also, please mount only one usbdisk at a time.
To use a floppy or CD, insert it and:
- for a CD, do:
$ mount /media/cdrom $ cd /media/cdrom
- for a floppy drive, do:
$ mount /media/floppy $ cd /media/floppy
Your files should be in the /media/xxx directory, and you should be able to copy stuff to and from that directory. When you are all done, cd out of the /media directory and type umount /media/cdrom (or /media/flash or /media/floppy).
