I am using Linux 8.2 and I was wondering if there is anyway that I can transfer to my portable mp3 player in Linux. Going back to windows is not an option for me, I despise it to much. If you can offer any help, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

What mp3 player are you using? There are many programs out there for different mp3 players that do some really cool stuff. Also you might just be able to mount it (which we can over if you need to). And just for future reference, you might want to refer to your system as SUSE 8.2 and not Linux 8.2. Not too big of a difference but it can be confusing under certain circumstances.

Well for example Digitalway MPIO players have a Linux tool called FPIO.

I can't get sulu to work. I have unpackaged it, and every time I try to run the make file, I get this:

I have also gotten my MP3 player to mount, but it won't let me carry anything over onto it. PLEASE HELP.

If you can read it but not write to it make sure you have the right permissions enabled, I had that problem before. My mp3 player was good cause it was read as just a removable drive so it was automatically mounted for me in Mandrake. Then the battery case broke and I returned it but other than that....

How do I enable the right settings so that I can do the transfer?

If you can mount the player with read access cd to the directory and check permissions. Like this:

$cd /mnt
$ls -l

you should see something like:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 15 19:54 cdrom
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 3 07:53 dosc
dr-x------ 1 root root 8192 Dec 10 17:44 windows

the d is for directory and the rest of the letters are for (r)ead (w)rite and e(x)ecute

so if you have:

dr--r--r-- 2 root root 4096 Nov 15 19:54 mp3player

issue:

$su (if your user is not the owner of the file system)
password:
#chmod -R a+wrx mp3palyer/ #note this should be whatever the dir is really called

this will allow (a)ll users read write and execute permissions for that dir (-R)ecursively (meaning all directories including and below /mnt/mp3player
