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: 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.

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