Question


My plan is to eventually install qmailadmin. I downloaded the qmailadmin program w/ a Win2k Professional PC. Then, I copied the file to a floppy. Isn't their a switch for the mount command to recognize FAT? How do I check the kernel version?

To see what kernel you are running type "uname -r". Mount knows how to mount fat ( -t msdos is the switch), but from you other post it looks like fat support is not in your kernel. Unless you are running a custom kernel or a VERY old distro you are probably running the BOOT kernel (which doesn't need fat support).
