mmount - mount an MSDOS disk
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from
mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely
accurate or complete. See the end of this man page for
details.
Description
The mmount command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is
only available on Linux, as it is only useful if the OS
kernel allows to configure the disk geometry. Its syntax
is:
mmount msdosdrive [mountargs]
Mmount reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures
the drive geometry, and finally mounts it passing moun
targs to mount. If no mount arguments are specified, the
name of the device is used. If the disk is write pro
tected, it is automatically mounted read only.

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from
mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is
only approximative, and some items, such as crossrefer
ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation
process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all infor
mation has been translated into the manpage version. Thus
I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc.
See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view
the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc,
run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at:
`http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs'
info mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
