The \fR\f(CWmmount\fR 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:

\fR\f(CWmmount\fR msdosdrive [mountargs]

\fR\f(CWMmount\fR reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the drive geometry, and finally mounts it passing \fR\f(CWmountargs\fR to \fR\f(CWmount. \fR If no mount arguments are specified, the name of the device is used. If the disk is write protected, it is automatically mounted read only.

Mtools' texinfo doc

This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. 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

\fR

      To generate a html copy, run:

   ./configure; make html

\fRA premade html can be found at \fR\f(CW(ifhttp://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html(is\fR

      To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:

   ./configure; make info

\fR

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.
