cp problem?


Recommended Posts

I've been trying to install Amigo2rc10.zip on my old computer, and have problem such that the desktop doesn't display properly. Nothing much on it.

Only guess I can make is based on the huge amount of memory the zip file takes when unzipped in the partition (a FAT16), while if it is unzipped from cd, it's reported to take less then 256mb.

 

Anyone know why I can't do

unzip /mnt/cdrom/amigo2rc10.zip /mnt/FAT

It always gives error:

caution: filename not matched: /mnt/FAT

 

:help:

To make it clearer, here's what I did first:

create fat16 partition, swap, ext2 format all using win98 floppy and slackware install floppies.

mkdir /mnt/cdrom

mkdir /mnt/FAT

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/FAT

 

Then I tried unzip into the dos partition, no go. Must copy it there first, then unzip in same directory.

 

Must have been brainfog when I wrote the title, it's not a cp problem, but an unzip problem

:cheesy:
