Try adding Control = "R J ML" to the mountlist, like in supplied example.
...This looks like plain ISO mode, no RockRidge or Joliet activated.

Q: How to mount an ISO image on AROS ? And can i update my nightly build this way ?
A: Get the ISO into AROS (by wget or smth)
Copy the ISO into sys:DiskImages (drawer must be created it isn`t there). Rename ISO to Unit0 in that dir.
You must add this to your Devs:Mountlist
ISO:
FileSystem = cdrom.handler
Device = fdsk.device
Unit = 0

Then mount ISO:
you can copy anything from ISO: Or for example, make a script to update your nightly build like this:
*Copy ISO:boot/aros-pc-i386.gz sys:boot/
*copy ISO:C sys:C all quiet
*copy ISO:Classes sys:Classes all quiet
*copy *copy ISO:Demos sys:Demos all quiet
and so on for each directory except Prefs, Extras:Networking/Stacks, and devs:mountlist itself.
Prefs have to be kept if you want it. Also you can set AROSTcp to keep it`s settings in separate directory.

If you want to write all over, just do:
copy ISO:C sys:C all quiet newer

Thanx Zorath.
Ehmm, i've done this exactly as described, but i got the ISO-mounted with only uppercase filenames and all files are dotted i.e. "C:COPY.", maybe somekind of UDF-Format, any suggestions? As a result i couldnt update my AROS-installation by this way.

Q: How to mount a real HD FAT partition ?
A: First you`d need to read the drive`s geometry and
write down some values. You can use HDToolbox or linux fdisk for that.
The BlocksPerTrack is taken from the sectors/track value. Note that it has absolutely nothing to do with the physical disk geometry - FAT only uses it as a multiplier.
If you get the Cylinders eg from HDToolbox or using the Linux fdisk like this: sudo fdisk -u -l /dev/hda, then you'll need to set BlocksPerTrack=63. To ensure you have numbers in cylinders look for Units=Cylinders in output. If you got fdisk output in sectors (Units=sectors), set BlocksPerTrack=1.

LowCyl and HighCyl is partition`s cylinders seen like

mark@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l -u /dev/hda
...
/dev/hda1 * 63 20980889 10490413+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

So, LowCyl is 63, and HighCyl is 20980889, blockspertrack=1

-Create a mountfile (text file) with lines:
--
device = ata.device
filesystem = fat.handler,
Unit = 0

BlocksPerTrack = 1
LowCyl = 63
HighCyl = 20980889
Blocksize=512
--
-Call it somehow, FAT0 for example
-Set this file`s default tool to c:mount in properties
(or put mountfile to devs:dosdrivers or sys:storage/dosdrivers)
-Double click on it
-(?)See the icon appearing on Wanderer`s desktop

ps formulae for counting the blocks
block = ((highcyl - lowcyl) x surfaces + head) x blockspertrack + sec

thanx Robert and Olivier)

Q: Can anybody give a link to a complete description of such "escape sequences"?


Here is a small description of printer escape commands (afaiu "Esc" is replaced by "*e" or "*E" for echo):

Esc[0m
Standard Set

Esc[1m and Esc[22m
Bold

Esc[3m and Esc[23m
Italics

Esc[4m and Esc[24m
Underline

Esc[30m to Esc[39m
Set Front Color

Esc[40m to Esc[49m
Set Background Color

(Many thanks Olivier! )


vim doc for amiga gives a few more details about these magic numbers:

30 grey char -- 40 grey cell -- >0 grey background ---- 0 all attributes off
31 black char - 41 black cell - >1 black background --- 1 boldface
32 white char - 42 white cell - >2 white background --- 2 faint
33 blue char -- 43 blue cell -- >3 blue background ---- 3 italic
34 grey char -- 44 grey cell -- >4 grey background ---- 4 underscore
35 black char - 45 black cell - >5 black background --- 7 reverse video
36 white char - 46 white cell - >6 white background --- 8 invisible
37 blue char -- 47 blue cell -- >7 blue background
The codes can be combined by separating them with a semicolon.

If somebody has other details

Everyone knew it was impossible. Along came a fool who did not know and he did it.
