dear zazzy appreciate the help,
but what I am looking for is somwehat a little simpler if possible something that I can run spontaneously without haaving to fiddle around wtth IP addresses and so on.. an example! :
on my desk top when I want to access windows to access a files system that holds the converted files from the psion 5mx databse I just mount on root filesystem /Windows and take it from there.. when I am done umount.. and this is the command I use!
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /Windows
and
umount hda1
simple..
now i am thinking that there is a way to connect straight from one hard drive to the other using a usb cable or an ordinary ?pin cable and just write in a command to mount one filesystem from a one hardrive to another filesystem on the other hard drive without having to go through lan or any of that dificulty...
....yours truly moxx68 ..
must find an answer..
thanx!
