Several doubts in Ubuntu 5.04

[Peter Alien]

Hello,

can someone take me some doubts:

Can i access WinXP Pro FAT32 partitions with Ubuntu 5.04 ?

I wanted to install a new pack of cursors in Ubuntu and i read that i have to install them in /.icons , but this directory doesnt appear to me. What the . before the name of the directory means ? It's a hidden directory ?

What is the difference between the Terminal ans the Konsole ?

can someone tell me if Knemo exists for Ubuntu 5.04 ?


Many many thanks guys :smile:

Yes, you can. Add this code to your /etc/fstab file/dev/<windows partition> /mnt/windows vfat rw,umask=000 0 0<windows partiotion> is the location of your windows partition. You can change /mnt/windows to wherever you want the windows partition mounted (make sure this directory exists; if it doesn't create it with root permissions).

All directorys/files which start with a . are hidden. To show them, choose "show hidden files" in your filebrowser of choice, or use the command ls -a/.icons is probably referring to ~/.icons (which resolves to /home/<your username>/.icons). /.icons is not normally a valid directory.

What is the difference between the Terminal ans the Konsole ?

Both are terminal emulators. Konsole uses QT, KDE widgetset (so it will have your kde theme). Terminal uses GTK2, the gnome widgetset (so it will have your gnome theme).
can someone tell me if Knemo exists for Ubuntu 5.04 ?
Yes, it does. It is in the universe repository. If you don't have that repository enabled, see the guide on repositories here: http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#repositories
