use window XP files under Linux Fedora

[chen li]

Hi all,

I have Fedora core 1 and Windows XP installed on my
computer. Within Fedora I  would like to use some
files from Windows sometimes. How do I make it?

Thank very much,

Li

Depends what you mean. If you just want to access files from your C: drive,
then you should be able to mount it if you have the right ntfs modules. If
you actually want to run WinXP software under Linux, Wine would work to a
certain extent. If you explain a bit more, I can get back to it and help
you.

running files is easy when it is mounted,
check linux-ntfs.org for details.
on the other hand, for using wine www.winehq.net i'm not sure), up to a
certain extent it will run some apps, unless that application tries writing
to and reading from the windows partition...
on the other hand there are commercial versions, one of which is
www.codeweavers.com which probably work better than wine.

Hi,

I checked that website and it is great. But before I
download something I like to make sure I get the right
one. I wonder how I check which kernel is used exactly
on my machine from the terminal.

Thanks,

Li

The command "uname -a" minus the quotes, will give you the requested
information.

Now I can make it. One more question: How do I umount
it after I am done with my files?  I typed the command
(umount /mnt/win) as root and the terminal says
/mnt/win is busy. So what is going on?

Thanks,

Li

cd /
umount /mnt/win

you can't umount a removable disk if your cwd is on the path.

Thanks for all.

To clarify: /mnt/win is busy means that there is some program running
that is "using" something on /mnt/win, either as a current directory, or
it has a file open.[1]

You can use the /sbin/fuser command to see which programs are using
/mnt/win. It returns the "process ID" of each program, and a character
representing how the filesystem is being used. You may need to be root
to see all the programs.

For example,
$ /sbin/fuser /mnt/win
/mnt/win:                 3425c
$ ps 3425
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
 3425 pts/2    Ss     0:00 -bash

So a bash command is using /mnt/win as a current directory, and it's on
terminal pts/2 (probably your second terminal window).

See man fuser for more details.

fuser is part of the psmisc RPM.

Hope this helps,

James.
