26 The \fR\&\f(CWmmount\fR command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is only
27 available on Linux, as it is only useful if the OS kernel allows to
28 configure the disk geometry. Its syntax is:
30 \&\fR\&\f(CWmmount\fR \fImsdosdrive\fR [\fImountargs\fR]
33 reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the drive geometry,
34 and finally mounts it passing
35 \&\fR\&\f(CWmountargs\fR to \fR\&\f(CWmount. \fR
36 If no mount arguments are specified, the name of the device is
37 used. If the disk is write protected, it is automatically mounted read
42 .SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
43 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
44 documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
45 items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
46 translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
47 representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
48 been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
49 use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
50 instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
53 To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following
59 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
68 To generate a html copy, run:
73 ./configure; make html
79 \&\fRA premade html can be found at
80 \&\fR\&\f(CW\(ifhttp://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html\(is\fR
83 To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
88 ./configure; make info
96 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
97 the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
98 quoting conventions used in info.
