Smile looking at the contents of a different drive


Sorry to be so bad at this after 2 years or so.

I have recently installed Deb 4 on a new physical disk (hdb1) and I also have hda1

I need to edit a file in etc/X11 on hdb1, but when i log in as root and issue

cd /etc/X11 I get to that directory on the hda.

How do i access the file on hdb1 in etc/X11 please?

Thanks
Greeb

Simple:

If not done already mound hdb1 then go to where you mount it for example:
Quote:
/mnt/hdb1
Then go to wherever you want. So you will be accessing something like:
Quote:
/mnt/hdb1/etc/X11
