Hello Igor,

Do I need a package to make the mount work? I typed in man mount, but it says notavailable, but I know i have installed most of the man pages for what I own?

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

Try running "mount -u 'c:\make_lr' /make_lr" and see if this helps.  You
may wish to create a /make_lr directory for tab-completion to work.  For
details, run "man mount".

P.S. You only need to mount this once - the mount table is persistent.
