I'm trying LNX-BBC 2.1 and an attempting to use it with a compact flash 128M
card in a laptop .  I formatted it with Win 2000 as NTFS and copied three
software package files to it .  I booted LNX-BBC did the following, but the
device was read-only :


/etc/init.d/pcmcia start

	which assigned /dev/hde

fdisk /dev/hde and then 'p' to print partition table

	which showed /dev/hde1 with 980 cylinders


cd ~
cd /mnt/discs
mkdir shared
cd /
mount -v -t ntfs -o rw /dev/hde1 /mnt/discs/shared
mount
	which showed it was mounted as ro NOT rw

I also tried the same process above, but replaced /mnt/discs with
/mnt/rw/discs, with no change - the device was still read-only.


I was able to cd to the device and see the three files I had copied, and
could use mc (midnight commander) to expand the .tar files.

Is there something I have done wrong?

Can this work?
