- I have never used Unix before and I recently installed
- SLS package. For the life of me, I can't figure out
- how to access my B: drive(3 1/2 HD). I am guessing that
- I need to "mount" it, but every time I try, I get an error
- about not being able to find a file in my /etc directory.
-
- I am trying to install X11 from my B: drive(fd1, I think) and
- the sysinstall just looks at my A: drive. HELP.
-
- Also, what is a good book about Unix? I need something so
- that I don't have to bother everyone on Usenet.
-
- Please email replies to ST1PB@jetson.uh.edu
-
- also, what is the command switch to untar a file?
