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 avail-
    able on Linux, as it is only useful if the OS kernel allows to config-
    ure 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 automatically mounted read only.

Viewing the texi doc
    This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
    documentation. However,  this process is only approximative, and some
    items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
    translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate represen-
    tation 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 fol-
    lowing commands:

     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

    *   To generate a html copy, run:

     ./configure; make html

    A premade html can be found at:  `http://mtools.linux.lu' and
    also at: `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

    *   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.
