mmount(1)		     General Commands Manual		       mmount(1)

Name
     mmount - mount an MSDOS disk

Note of warning
     This  manpage  has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo docu-
     mentation, 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 configuration of the
     disk geometry. Its syntax is:

     mmount msdosdrive [mountargs]

     Mmount reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the drive geome-
     try, and finally mounts it passing mountargs to mount.  If no  mount  argu-
     ments  are  specified, the name of the device is used. If the disk is write
     protected, it is automatically mounted read only.

Viewing the texi doc
     This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's  texinfo  docu-
     mentation.  However,  this  process  is only approximative, and some items,
     such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation
     process.  Indeed, these items have no  appropriate  representation  in  the
     manpage format.  Moreover, not all information 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.gnu.org/software/mtools/man-
     ual/mtools.html'

     *	    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 con-
     ventions used in info.
