Hi Guy!
I'm a newbie to Linux (just managed to install my 1st RedHat Linux 9 2 days ago) . As any typical Windows user, I'm dumb folded :x by Linux. My jaw fell off as I stared at my monitor, not knowing how to start using it!Therefore, I though I might get some help from the Linux Gurus here!
Well, I need to learn how to do text editing in Linux. I tried VI and I gave up almost instantly. (Can't blame me.. I'm a NotePad user!). Any suggestions and help is much appreciated. I just need to add a line to my /etc/fstab so that it can auto-mount my WinXP partition during boot-up.
Talking about mounting, I got a few questions too...
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat auto,umask=0 0 0
what does auto and unmask=0 0 0 do? I manage to mount the partition that I wanted without these parameter. So, are they necessary?
Many thank in advance!
Regards,
Lawrence
