this may sound bizzare cant mount my windows NFS drives

and cant get firefox to install flash player plugin

im new to linux but they are my only problems

with fedora 5

what are you going to mount the nfs drives? try following this

http://www.yourhowto.org/content/view/57/9/

what errors are you getting when installing flash, what distro are you using?

If you are trying to mount your Windows partition inside of FC5 and it is NTFS, then you must have the Linux NTFS driver installed. If you are trying to veiw Windows over a network, then you do that through Samba, not NFS.

Hope that helps,

Bob

How are you trying to install flashplayer? If you downloaded the installer from Manromedia's Linux site, then the instructions for installation are there. If you are using an x86_64 installation of FC5, then I'm afraid you are out of luck for right now. The plug-in doesn't exist yet, to my knowledge.

ok on the pc in question i have 3 hard drives

the linux one works fine

i want to view the other 2 hard drives but dont want to format them


version i installed Fedora Core 5 for i386 dvd iso

the flash player yes from macromedia i will read the help files

ok read the help files for flash player tried the manual one no go and no error just wants to d/l flash everytime i load a page with flash on it

i also tried through terminal that could not find the directory everythough i gave the physical address

ok before this i was logged in as root when i try this

as for the NFS mounts still no joy atm

i will get this working as windows has pissed me off with its continually crashing and screen freezing .Since ive loaded fedora i have not had one screen freeze or crash hence the reason for installing it

thanks i will read those website as well thank you for the help

i did reboot as well after making changes

for NFS though i get a error on NFS MOUNTD

ok the flash player is now sorted and ive decided to give up on nfs im transfering all my files onto dvd on a windoze machine will transfer back to my machine that way

slower yes less painfull of course

do you really mean nfs (network file share)? if i've understood your setup correctly, you have 1 computer with 3 different hard-drives, one of which has fc5 installed on it and you want to look to see what's on the other ones. is that correct?

Fedora does not include NTFS (default windows filesystem) support by default.
nfs is a unix protocol for sharing files over a network.

For read only support.
