How to look at what is on the drives? Still need help! solved!

[earlytv]

I am using 1.3rc2.
The system has hda1 and sda1 on it.
How do I look at what is on those and delete, add, move,  files to them?
I can mount and unmount them but how can I look at them?
Seamonkey under the open a file lists hda1 and sda1 but when I
click on them it says I must be a superuser?
What is a superuser?

I have some files for seamonkey, home button, clear private data, that only seamonkey
knows what to do with under the open files button on seamonkey.

Anytime you need to do something as superuser, prefix the command with sudo, ie sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

I usually use the terminal and execute the commands from a prompt. Then again, I'm an antique.

It looks like your problem was solved in another thread.

I typed in what you said and it said no mount command?

I guess I left out a space and typed too much, all you put down.

sudo mount  /dev/sda1 worked.

I can look at files thru seamonkey but how can I move or change them.

It looks like your problem was solved in another thread.

What other thread?

I pluged in 2nd usb stick with clear private data button for seamonkey on it, did a mount as above but for sdb1, used seamonkey open a file and it installed its own clear private data button under tools.

I am on a system with tinycore 1.3rc2 with opera, system has 32meg flash IDE, little space left, and
128meg ram little space left.
Before starting opera I pluged in a 4gig usb stick, and then mounted it, sda1.
Now while in opera I find a 245meg iso file I want to download to sda1 but opera and or tiny core dont show sda1 as a option to save to?
Why and what can I do?
I cant get used to the fact some linux cant do this, or am I doing something wrong?

I used to have seamonkey before but went with opera because it was a bit smaller and from above you see I dont have much room. seamonkey with its, open a file, would see all drives on the system as long as they were mounted before seamonkey started. Anyone know if sda1 would have been a save option on seamonkey?

To go back and take out opera and put in seamonkey if it dont fix anything is a waste?

Why would a separate drive need to be a separate option? It's against the unix philosophy of having everything in one directory tree.

If you have mounted your usb stick, for example using the mount tool, you can find it in /mnt/sda1 and if you browse there, save files there.

While at the save point for the file in opera it will not let me type in anything to go to a different device, it always shows at least one folder and that folder is for the ram disk?

This is like trying to learn a language in high school, I never did.

When I am at that single folder with the  / after it, that is when I can type in mnt/sda1 after it and hit save and it does save it at 261kbytes per sec.

This is all new to me and going slow.

Thanks!
