the word sudo in front of the mount will give you ability to do that.
sudo umount /XYZ...
sudo mount -t...
Sorry, if I sound a bit frustrated.
I hav read that there is no pwd for root, for security reasons or something. But this means that I can't mount my HDD OR Flash disk, and cannot save to it either, and so I have to rely on many volatile Stiffy's!
Recently I had to hand in a project. As usaul I would make two copy's on two disks, and so as fate would have it, both went corrupt.
So please if any one can tell me how to mount or access my "Windows" harddrive from a CD-bootable knoppix, I would appreciate it very much. Because I can't go on like this.
Thnx. D

...and you can always do sudo su and then set the password with passwdOriginally Posted by OErjan

true, but doing that on a dist running from a cd is somewhat of an overkill, at least it feels like overkill to me.
--Knoppix has (4) root terminals running by default, in addition to X. Hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a textmode root prompt from the live-cd. To get back to X, it's either Ctrl-alt-F5 or F7.
--It's advisable to switch entirely away from floppies to USB Thumbdrive, CDR, or the like. Floppy construction quality has gone *way* down in the past few years; the only thing I trust them for anymore, is LILO.
--Anyhow, to mount your Win drive:
' fdisk -l ' == Figure out which partition is Win, as well as detect any other peripheral disks
' mount /mnt/hda1 ' == Checks /etc/fstab for mountpoint and mounts it R/W
--To mount it R/O:
' mount /mnt/hda1 -oro '
--To mount your Flash drive:
' mkdir /mnt/flash '
' mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash ' == This is where the ' fdisk -l ' comes in handy, to determine what partition scheme the Flash disk has

Uncheck the 'READ ONLY' box and then just click the disk to mount it.
It should now be writable.
