Hello Everyone.
I have just installed antiX and I am very impressed. I am fairly new to Linux and I still have a lot to learn so can anyone please explain to me simply. When I plug in my Mp3 player where do I find it on my computer so that I can mount it. I have been using Linux Xubuntu up till now and the mp3 player would Automount so I have been lazy. I don't need Automount all I need is to find it.
Thank you for any help given.

It will depend on your player; if it was mounted as a disk, just after you physically plug it in, in a terminal run

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail
that should show you how your computer sees it. (It should show as /dev/<something>)
Then just mount it as normal, via a file manager, or as the root user in a terminal

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/<something> /mnt
That will have it mounted on /mnt,

Code: Select all

ls /mnt
to see your music in a terminal.
Hope that helps.

One easy way is also to use antix control center.
Choosing discs and then devices mounten.
In the mountbox go to list.The last device normaly,you can write it there.
