View Full Version : Locating hardware

I have just recently started using Knoppix, and I have had a bit of difficulty locating all of my hardware while using it. Where can I find a list (online or otherwise) of what directories are associated with the various devices? Currently, I am especially interested in accessing a USB Zip Drive.
Thanks.

Make sure to put a disk in your zip drive before you boot knoppix then look in /mnt.
I don't have any usb stuff so I can't help you any more than that, but I know that with IDE zip drives they are not initialized if you boot without a disk in them.

Put a disk in as Rock suggests, boot then-
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
your device should show up there.

Thank you. That helps... The device is listed when I type cat /proc/scsi/scsi. However, how do I get access to the files on the disk?
Thanks.

Search for 'mounting drives' and/or 'mount points'. Sorry I can't do better than that- perhaps tomorow after some sleep. It's fairly easy and well discussed. Good sites:

http://www.linuxquestions.org
http://debian.org
BTW mounting drives on mount points is pertinent to all Linux distros not just Knoppix. :cool:
