Name
       mmount - mount an MSDOS disk



Note of warning
       This  manpage  has  been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, 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 to configure the disk geometry. Its syntax is:

       mmount msdosdrive [mountargs]

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

Viewing the texi doc
       This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approxi-
       mative, 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/manual/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 conventions used in info.
