Where did you _find_ that? Some old book in the library? That's _8_
years old!!! Sure hope this is a stand-alone box not accessible from
the world.
What i need is some documentation (or the location of) for the
script files,
"the script files" meaning? The boot scripts are in /etc/rc.d/ and
below. The documentation should be in /usr/doc/*/*.
i intend to use this mainly on the console - I need to know
how to access dos partitions
For occasional access, 'man mount'. The syntax would be something like
'mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt/C' (assumes '/mnt/C' exists). For
automatic mounting, put a line in /etc/fstab - something like
/dev/hda1 /mnt/C msdos defaults 0 0
also which script is the lilo/bootloader.
/etc/lilo.conf is the configuration file - but you should REALLY
read the lilo man page as well as the stuff in /usr/doc/lilo-0.20/doc/
Also a refresher on the use of vi/vim.
/usr/doc/vim-common-5.7/tutor/
/usr/man/man1/vimtutor.1.gz
That release came with a fair number of HOWTOs and mini-howtos that were
put in /usr/doc/HOWTO/ and /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/ but they are ancient. I'd
suggest hitting an LDP mirror, and grabbing the tarball of the latest
HOWTOs (put them in /usr/share/HOWTO/) and the 20-odd LDP guides. Try
http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/ and http://tldp.org/guides.html
Good Luck!
