easys v2.1

Mounting drives

To read a CD in easys 2.1 you need to mount it. It can be done through Konqueror. Put the CD in drive, click the System icon, choose Storage Media and finally click CD icon.

If you're impatient, you can click reload icon on a tool bar.

To eject CD you have to unmount it first. Just use right click on CD icon and from the menu choose Unmount. Then you can press eject button on CD drive.

It is similar if you use floppy drive.

To use memory stick is a little bit different. When inserted, my memory stick was not automatically recognised. I had to do it manually in terminal.

I inserted stick in usb port. When the light on the stick went on, I entered dmesg command in aterm to see if the memory stick was recognised by kernel:

root@t-notebook:/#dmesg

I got this reply:

I marked necessary information with red arrow.
It was recognised as sda1 device.

Now, I had to mount it:
If you don't have it, create the directory where your memory stick will be mounted:

root@t-notebook:/#mkdir /mnt/usb
 

Then mount the device to created directory:

root@t-notebook:/#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/

After that you can access the files on your stick through your terminal or file manager.
When you're done, unmount the device by entering:

root@t-notebook:/#umount /mnt/usb

Then it is safe to remove the stick.
