- I do not remeber 1.3, but with 2.04 you can use assign:
- example assign mo0: dismount
- will dismount my Magnetooptical drive.
- (Ask with assign ?, if the 1.3 assign allows that.)
- The manual tells something like: Do not use it, unless you are a
- programmer and knowing what you are doing.
- So I used it only a few times (but without problems) when testing
- a new edited mountlist without willing to reboot after every correction.
