16 The mmount command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is only avail‐
17 able on Linux, as it is only useful if the OS kernel allows to config‐
18 ure the disk geometry. Its syntax is:
19
20 mmount msdosdrive [mountargs]
21
22 Mmount reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the drive
23 geometry, and finally mounts it passing mountargs to mount. If no
24 mount arguments are specified, the name of the device is used. If the
25 disk is write protected, it is automatically mounted read only.

28 Mtools' texinfo doc

31 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
32 documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
33 items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
34 translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate represen‐
35 tation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been
36 translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use
37 the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions
38 how to view the texinfo doc.

40 * To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the fol‐
41 lowing commands:
42
43 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

47 * To generate a html copy, run:
48
49 ./configure; make html

51 A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/man‐
52 ual/mtools.html'

54 * To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode),
55 run:
56
57 ./configure; make info

61 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
62 the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
63 quoting conventions used in info.
