sorry, basic questions from a newbie...
my computer crashed recently and i am using kanotix as a temporary bootdisk. i was hoping that i could transfer all my files from my hard drive onto my external hard drive... i have two problems though..
1. i can't find my exact files... going into my storage media gives me two folders, RRbackups and ~RRbackups... I'm not sure if these are the files I should transfer.
2. i can't write to my external drive. when i try changing the access permissions, it brings up an error message that says "could not change permissions for /media/sda1"
i have a feeling these might be really basic questions but i couldn't find the answers on the forums.
thanks for any help you can provide! |

well, for the backup files, no idea.
the external drive has what filesystem?
if its fat, as it is most the time, you could mount it by hand with:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 or whatever it is.

okay, so now i can change the access permissions but for some reason, i get an error message whenever i try to copy something onto my external drive... it simply says "could not make folder /media/sdb1/nameoffolder"
any ideas?

If you know your drive's mounted read/write, are you doing this as root? It'd be easier if you were.
IIRC, you'd want to su in a console, then use passwd to set a root password, then exit to log out. Then issue the sux command to log on as root with X privileges, supply your new root password when asked, type konqueror --profile filemanagement & to bring up the file manager (as root), and away you go.
(Hopefully, your external hard drive's not formatted as NTFS. If so, the above ain't gonna work.) |

sux can be used directly, no need for su there.
to make a folder, become root and then: mkdir /media/sdb1/blabla
