How to copy file from cd-rom to local disk?
vivid...@hotmail.com
This is my first time to touch the minix, and I don't know how to copy
the file from the cd-rom to local disk. I installed the minix in the
VMWare. Some one told me to use the mount command, but I do not know
the details, does anybody help me?
Thanks,
Terrence.

What kind of CD is it? If it has a Minix file system (which is
generally only the case for the Minix install CD) you can use mount, if
it has an ISO file system (which is the case for most CDs) you need to
use isoread.
You can use "man mount" or "man isoread" (omit the quotes) for
instructions on how to use these commands.
To use these commands you'll need to determine what the device name is
for your CD-ROM. This depends on your hardware configuration; probable
names are /dev/c#d#, where the first # is most likely 0 or 1 and the
second # is between 0 and 3. Just try them to find out which one is
correct. /dev/c0d0 is probably your hard disk, so you may skip this one.
