| .SH Description |
| .PP |
| The \fR\&\f(CWmmount\fR command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is only |
| available on Linux, as it is only useful if the OS kernel allows |
| configuration of the disk geometry. Its syntax is: |
| .PP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWmmount\fR \fImsdosdrive\fR [\fImountargs\fR] |
| .PP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWMmount\fR |
| reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the drive geometry, |
| and finally mounts it passing |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWmountargs\fR to \fR\&\f(CWmount. \fR |
| If no mount arguments are specified, the name of the device is |
| used. If the disk is write protected, it is automatically mounted read |
| only. |

| .SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc |
| This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo |
| documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some |
| items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this |
| translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate |
| representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has |
| been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to |
| use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for |
| instructions how to view the texinfo doc. |

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