Alternatives and Notes
Login on Linux is a different concept
than on NetWare. You log in to a
shell session with the server, which
is analagous to accessing the
console prompt on a NetWare
server.
The same comments apply as for
LOGIN above.
There is no directly corresponding
utility
The command used alone
mount
shows both local and remote mount
points—the connections between
file systems (either local or remote)
and a directory on the server. You
access the file system (local or
remote) by accessing the local
directory.
Drive letters are not used on Linux.
However, if you install the NCP
server, Novell Clients can then map
drives to NCP volumes on OES-
Linux servers.
On Linux, all media connections,
including remote connections and
removable media, are handled
through the mount command.
There's no memory command per
se on Linux. However, the
command gives a good start on
what's installed, available, being
used by buffers, etc.
If you want to see a GUI display,
you must be running the KDE
graphical interface and use KDE
System Guard.
You can also view memory
information in Novell Remote
Manager (NRM). To access NRM in
your Web browser, go to http://
server_name:8008 > Manage Linux
> View Memory Information.
There is, of course, no memory
allocated to DOS when Linux is
running, even if there's a separate
DOS partition on the hard drive.
